Don't go waste your money trying to upgrade a pre-built PC.
Just save up for Haswell and build a new one.

That board is supposed to support a core 2 quad. If you can find one at the right price, it might be worth the trouble. Would have to be cheap though. Less than $60. They are hard to find at a decent price.

Building or buying a new machine will run you a great deal more than $100.

The cheapest alternative would involve swapping out the board, cpu, memory, and I would highly recommend the PSU as well. you could do that for $150 if you know what your doing.

Im not recommending this course of action. But if thats the only option you can afford, thats how you would want to do it.

Hey, I thought you said earlier your budget was $100?

Could be a typo. Anyway, friend, I don't recommend a Z77 board with that processor because you aren't overclocking - I'd get a Z68 board or H77, Z77 is really for overclocking. Anyway, don't waste your money on that graphics card - it's old, and the newer 7850 is much better, put your money to that, and don't get a Cooler Master PSU, it's GARBAGE. Go with OCZ, XFX, Seasonic or Corsair.
