Upgrade CPU and HD

Hi,

I cannot update to the operating system yosemite because apple limited the possibility to update for iMACs from Mid 2007 . I have an iMac from early 2007 running with the operating system snow leopard 10.6.8. What CPU do you recommend with which specification?

1.) Question

Does this CPU works with my iMac:

2.) Question

Can you recommend a SSD Drive which I can use with this specific iMac to increase the speed of the iMac in combination with the right CPU

Below you can find the iMac Specification's:

Pre-Installed MacOS: X 10.4.7 (8K1106) Maximum MacOS: X 10.7.5*

*This system can run the last version of OS X 10.7 "Lion" if upgraded to at least 2 GB of RAM. Although it has a 64-bit processor, it has a 32-bit EFI and is not capable of booting into 64-bit mode. It does not support "OpenCL" either. Please also note that OS X Lion is not capable of running Mac OS X apps originally written for the PowerPC processor as it does not support the "Rosetta" environment. This model cannot run versions of OS X newer than 10.7.5 "Lion."
