Not with that budget. Changing from Intel to AMD would require a totally different motherboard, and possibly new RAM too - depending on the OP's current motherboard and RAM (the Ryzen only supports DDR4, the i7-7700 supports both DDR3 and DDR4). And because a new motherboard constitutes a new computer in terms of Windows licensing, it most likely would require a new Windows license as well.


[USER=67595]@Emanuel Tomasin[/USER] - You need to visit your motherboard's website and look at the CPU QVL (qualified vendors list). This is a list of CPUs your motherboard maker has tested and verified works with your specific motherboard. You must buy a listed CPU to ensure compatibility.


Note there should be a RAM QVL too. But there are too many RAM makers and models available for board makers to test them all. So you don't have to buy listed RAM but you do need to buy RAM with the same specs as listed RAM to ensure compatibility.
