Your PC is extremely old and outdated. A simple CPU upgrade just would not be worth it, AT ALL. If you're going to spend money to upgrade, buy something of this generation.

Honestly you're better off getting a new computer, not a lot of processor out there that support your borad, let alone to find them would be difficult. you're better off buying or building man.

Alright, I thought I recognized this question before. Or at least a similar one you had back in November. Your computer uses an ASUS A8M2N-LA motherboard, with an AM2 socket. Fortunately enough, AMD still uses their AM2 dies for sockets and processors. Unfortunately, everything else will be extremely outdated. Literally a decade outdated. I wouldn't even attempt to upgrade your computer. Instead I'd build a one around your budget. To answer you question regarding where you can buy processors I'd definitely recommend Newegg.

With that said, I'm going to go ahead and close your thread. The answer has been thoroughly answered by Rawr, UnknownKiller, and myself. Feel free to create another post if you plan on building a computer. There's plenty of knowledge to go around to guide you through the part selection process.
