The fastest i7 your system will take is a 2.8 GHz unit -- you can't go beyond that speed. The cheapest you'll find that runs about $400 - and you will not get $400 worth of performance out of it.
Put the money toward a solid state drive (assuming you have a conventional hard drive in the system). It'll make much more of a difference. $400 will get you a fast 512M SSD - - half that or less for a 256.

No its not possible. Intel keeps changing the socket and chipset.
Any processor other than the one it came with is not supported.
Intel Core i7-2600K 4.8GHz is Overclocking and a DESKTOP cpu.
