That chipset (MB) does not support quadcore. Supports Pentium D dual cores.

A new i5/i7 system would cost more.

If you have $750 available a Core i5/i7 is doable with that budget. Perhaps try posting in the Homebuilt section and ask for suggestion for a new build there.

I would recommend against an LGA775 platform as it is EOL.
Instead look at a less expensive AMD setup.

For $155 you can get an Athlon II x4 620 and a good motherboard.

For $121 you can get the same CPU with a pretty low end (but still workable) motherboard.
