The best you can go up with is a 3.4 GHz Core i7 (I7-2600).
You may want to look at upping your RAM and jumping to a SSHD or better yet add in a second drive in this case a SSD. Remember your system has three SATA ports!.
You can see the only the mc Geekbench values are higher. Keep in mind only multi-threaded apps will take advantage of the extra threads. I think you are better off upgrading the RAM & Storage, and its less work and risk.
Oops! I'd like to change my mind.
