XPS 8920, CPU upgrade

So after many years good service I've finally come up against some games my old i5-7400 is struggling with! I've already upgraded GPU to an RTX2060, running monitoring software the CPU is now a definite bottleneck.

I've checked CPU options and wonder whether the stock 8920 cooling will cope with an i5-7600k? It's 91w TDP.  I've checked on a PSU calculator and the 460w supply should be ok, but I'm more worried about temps.

I would rather go with a 6700k, but if it looks dodgy temp / power wise I will stick with the standard i5 7600 (non k)

Any thoughts?
