“Can I upgrade the Intel i5 to an i7 or i8?, (and can I also upgrade the NVidia GTX1050 to a 1070 or 1080?)”

• No, you can't upgrade the processor on the Inspiron 7700. The i5 processor uses the FCBGA1440 socket which is a permanent attachment of the processor to the motherboard. As far as the gpu goes you can upgrade to the 1050ti or the 1060. Any bigger than that and you could run in to issues with power consumption.

  I would recommend:
