The question you should ask what is your budget for upgrading?

Tom's has some great ideas and read some of the forums to see what you can do.

Both parts will work with your motherboard. The processor is compatible with your motherboard since BIOS version "FC". This BIOS version is required for your current E5300, so no additional steps are necessary. The graphics card you've selected is PCI-E version 2.0 which is fully compatible with all PCI-E versions, so no concerns there either.

I would agree with SpookyMan, however, in that there may be some better upgrade options. We won't know until you can give us a budget.
