This is not possible without a change in motherboard as the i7 series of processors are Intel based, Ryzen are AMD based. So first Dell has to have an R6 motherboard that supports Ryzen AMD processors then you would need to purchase said motherboard along with the new cpu. I do not know if Dell does this sort of thing, but probably more then likely you will be required to just purchase a new Dell pc that is based on AMD instead of Intel.
The only other better one would be the 7700K that's basically your final and only other option for what you currently have... and while it may give you a slight increase overall... your not going to notice the difference in any substantial way. My advice, upgrade your hard drive to M2, (if you haven't already) add more ram (if your below 16G if your there already don't bother..) or perhaps move to a newer video card if you do a lot of gaming and are using anything below the performance level of a 1070/580. Those options will atleast give you noticeable increases in performance.
You can always change the motherboard and processor yeah.. the Chassis takes Micro Atx boards. (then you need another copy of windows to... which will add to the cost)
Thing is you still have a relatively good cpu.. which makes it difficult to recommend the latest and greatest from intel or amd as your not going to notice much in the way of improvements unless your overclocking. If I put a 2700X system and yours side by side you would be hard pressed to tell the difference unless you were benchmarking.

Hi @Astew130,
We wouldn't recommend the upgrade since it's not part of the processors sold with this system. Hence, the functionality cannot be confirmed.
Validated CPUs for this model:
