what is your budget? are you in the uk? there really isn't a recommendable processor to just drop into your existing machine as it is rather dated. you could get a new motherboard and cpu and still use everything else, but without knowing your budget it is hard to say.

E2 3200 - 1512 points
Any of these processors is at least 2x faster than your current CPU
A6 3650 - 3199 points
A8 3800 - 3156
A8 3850 -3537

Here , you can see processors of the same socket , but some of them are not listed by HP
http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket%20FM1.html

For sure the first three i posted are supported but obviously A8 3850 is rather expensive . If you can find somewhere one of the three i posted for less , it would do the job .

if your never going to do gaming and you are just doing regular web browsing, youtube, office apps, the pentium is just as good. but i feel for long term the 5800k offers so much more definitely in possible gaming or home theater work down the road and is slightly faster overall.
