You can upgrade to any third generation core i5. Here are a few that are compatible. There is nothing on the internet about trying an i7 in this machine and thanks to dell, we don't have a cpu compatibility list. I think an i7 would work, however, we wont know until someone tries it.

The Inspiron 660 is validated with these Dell CPUs:
1G6R1 1.80GHz G460 Sandy Bridge, 1C,35W,Q0
77VPR 2.70GHz G630 Sandy Bridge, 3MB, 65W, 2C, Q0
972H5 3.30GHz i3-2120 Sandy Bridge, 3MB, 65W, Q0
F6KN0 3.00GHz i5-2320 SandyBridge Quad Core, 6MB, 95W, D2
JN8M2 3.10GHz i5-3450 Ivy Bridge Quad Core, 6MB, 77W, E1

Anything else most likely would not work since it will be limited by BIOS. 660 is out of production already, so no BIOS upgrades are possible.
