17 R1, CPU upgrade options

Hey all,

l am here again with another question about my Alienware 17 R1. In good form, I thought to open a new thread instead of changing the subject of one I already have going.

It has a “Deployed on” date of January 9th 2014. It has 16GB of ram, two 1TB SSD, as well as the original I think Windows 10 (maybe 16GB M.2 SSD). I still have the original 750GB spin drive, but took that out to preserve originality when I swapped to SSD. It has a GTX 765m GPU, which I’m waiting to find a decent priced 780m (I don’t want to go crazy and I know that the 780m is a drop in upgrade).

My question is CPU upgrades. It has the i7-4700mq (qm.. depending on where you look online) and it goes pretty well, but I was wondering what a general opinion would be for an upgrade to match the 780m?

I am also looking into maybe one day upgrading to 32GB of ram.
