I'm looking to upgrade my current setup from an Intel Celeron to an i7-2600 that I snagged for just 10 bucks. The only info I can find about my motherboard is that it's labeled "86F7." Does anyone know if these two components are compatible?

Before diving in, it would help to know which Celeron you currently have. There are many models, and some are quite old, which could affect compatibility. If your Celeron is from the last few years, that might change the game. But I’ve looked up your motherboard ID, and it seems older CPUs won’t work well with it, especially if it's a 15-year-old chip.
Just keep that in mind!
My Celeron is the G5900T at 3.20GHz. I checked and it looks decent according to UserBenchmark with all green bars.
