Now that's a massive bottleneck you got there, Athlon 64 is gone for good, you need to invest on new CPU+mobo+ RAM, I suggest at least an i3-4330, highly advisable an i5-4690k depending on what your budget can go for with a Z97 or at least an H81 4th gen mobo, for RAM 8GB (2x4) DDR3 from the brand of your choice.
