I have a Dell Inspiron 620 PC, and I'm looking to upgrade the CPU. Is it compatible with a G4560 Kaby Lake Pentium processor?

Hmm, not much out there on this hardware. A few people managed i5-2320 upgrades. No luck with Ivy Bridge. And it doesn't look like it plays nice with late model video cards either. A few recent posts about 1050Ti and RX480s not working in them.

With all that in mind, I would also say you should consider replacing the entire system.

If it is the Inspiron mid tower there are worse pre-builts to start from.
What CPU is in there now?

There is always the possibility of an i7-3770, but I kind of agree, there is enough of a difference to make that a losing proposition. Though if you could find a used one for a low price it might hold you over while you save up for a new build.

If you were to buy a new heatsink, powersupply, and GPU, these are all things you could re-use in a replacement build.
