You failed to tell us what motherboard and CPU you have. And that would help a lot.
However, it is likely that both your motherboard and CPU are already 64 bit, but Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, sold Windows as a 32 bit OS for years after the hardware was already 64 bit. So it is very likely that all you need is to get a 64 bit version of Windows.
If that is the case, I would suggest waiting a few more months (rumors say the end of July) for Windows 10 to come out, and grab it. If you are using Windows 7 or 8, you will get a free upgrade from Microsoft, and that will almost certainly be a 64 bit version.
