... unfortunately restrictions on that mobo limit the cpu to a small list.. ive listed what i believe to be the best one in the part picker link..

e/ the other thing i have to ask/mention is to look to see if there is any swelling on any of the capacitors on the motherboard, the only reason i am saying this is because that is an old board. if there is even ONE swollen capacitor the cpu upgrade/replacement would just be a waste of time and money... it might just be time to spend an extra hundred or so on a new mobo/cpu thats a bit more current.

like this... its approximately 100 $ more.. but more up to date, even though it is still concidered "old tech".

you should be able to just swap everything from your current build onto this board. you'd just need to do a fresh install of your operating system...

Yeah I was looking at a few of those used on amazon. I had a 3.4 athlon x4 I believe but redoing the thermal paste I bent some pins on it so I'm using an old dual core 2.8
