you should upgrade. you can get a cheap quad core set up using the lga 775 socket from server supply websites and amazon as well.
or if you should decide to stick with amd the fx series is affordable and packs decent performance.
 
Might as well just stick with newer tech, an FX 6300 and an AM3+ motherboard should do nicely

However if you're not into gaming and just need a better CPU to get by you can pick up an AMD APU and an FM2 mobo, an A8 6600k quad core would be a nice choice

Since it seems you're using an older system with older components, a full system overhaul would be recommended
