You have a Socket 754 board, so you really have nowhere to go but upgrade the motherboard and CPU/memory and video. Cant tell anything about your harddrive. Looks like a complete upgrade. Do you want to go with Intel or AMD?
 
The MAX processor you can get for your current motherboard is 2.4 Ghz.

So you need a new motherboard and processor.

But aren't we forgetting; PSU, graphics card, RAM

You got a budget there??

Tell us how much you got and wot you want your NEW build to be able to do.
