Yeah and so my computer can run a bit smoother over all. Would only be for one game in specific but it requires me to have 'Minimum: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom X3 8750 processor or better' I wouldn't be intending to play much else on the PC.

That motherboard is Socket 939, a really old one introduced in 2004. It will not support AMD Phenom CPUs like the X3 8750 mentioned.

Technically, I suppose you COULD get a dual-core CPU by virtue of a socket 939 Athlon64 X2 CPU. However, such will be rare, and likely not worth the expenditure. You would likely be best off buying a whole new base system.
