They will need more information that just that for compatibility.
because you cannot just upgrade them to parts just like that as i believe you will need a new motherboard.

What are you using it for?
Games.
Editing.
light work.

Your full system specs.
Motherboard
Ram
Graphics card
Processor
PSU
What storage

An SSD if youre not already using one

Also a cooler depending on the one you already have

Depending on what i7 youll be getting youll need a new MB
