How much do you have to spend?

If you get a new CPU, you will need a new motherboard, new RAM, new power supply and maybe a new chassis as well.

So, 1st, what are you trying to do with this computer?

If you're just using it as an internet and office machine. Get yourself a new stick of RAM, preferably of the same model of your current one that works. Here is an example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820159021&cm_re=DDR2_800-_-20-159-021-_-Product

If you want to game or do more intensive computing, you need to start fresh with a new build and stop dumping money into a dinosaur.
A great budget build: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-budget-gaming-pc,3943.html

You should Just build an entry level system for about £300

A new motherboard will do nothing for you.

if your not trying to play games you can do it with just a mobo+cpu. what is your budget and where are you located?

yes any new motherboard will support your current gt520. if your on a strict budget... i would say this...

but the igpu inside the a10-5800k is faster than the gt520 you already have.
