I7-7700k for Upgrade?

[i_am_bandit]

I have this computer https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-omen-by-hp-desktop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-1tb-hard-drive-brushed-aluminum/5759916.p?skuId=5759916
Do you know if I can upgrade the CPU to a i7-7700k without changing any of the other components?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

If your running the 7400 there really shouldn't be an issue booting a 7700.

 

[jankerson]

I would go with the i7 7700 and use the CPU cooler that comes with it.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I agree about the 7700 , no reason to get a K.

 

[mgallo848]

I agree with the others, not to mention the Omen only supports the i7 7700 anyway. It may or may not work with the (k) version so just get the i7 7700

The i7 7700 is a 65 watt CPU
The i7 7700k is a 91 watt CPU
