i would like to upgrade the computer but leave the graphics card in. What would a good processor be for me to buy?

any help would be great thanks

That Platform and chipset or quite old. The best thing to do would be get a new CPU/MB/PSU and build as you go..Buying here and there. New of course Used if you know where the part has been.
