Your Precision T1700 is compatible with the entire line of desktop 4th generation i3, i5, and i7 CPUs that use the LGA 1150 platform.  It is also compatible with the Xeon E3-12xx v3 CPUs. Since you are already running a dedicated video card, this opens up the possibility to install a Xeon model that does not include integrated graphics. The Xeon E3-1241 V3 is the same specs as the i7-4770K minus the integrated graphics.You can pick one up on everyone's favorite auction website for $80 right now.
Hi guys, I have just got a Precision T1700 tower, it has 32gb RAM, 500gb Primary SSD, 2TB secondary HDD, ASUS GTX 1650 4Gb and i5-4570 running Windows 10. I have checked the dell spec sheet and it seems the best cpu I can fit into it would be the i7-4770 3.4ghz. I have done a little reading (and lost an auction to buy one whilst doing so) and the 4770K seems to be exactly the same except you aren't limited in terms of overclocking it vs the standard 4770. I have the 048DY8 motherboard and just want to make sure it will take the 4770K. Can you please advise? Many thanks,   Si
