dont need the lga775 socket just need motherboard compatable with ddr2 and 4 memory slots
 
Your budget is insufficient. More like $200 is needed.

A Kaby lake processor will be $65 at least. G4560 is a known good budget cpu so the price is inflated and in short supply. Plan on a G4600 for about $80.
A lga1151 motherboard will be in the $50 range.
8gb of ddr4 ram will be about $85.
but... such an upgrade will be a major increase in cpu capability.
 
It looks like 1156, which followed 775, marks the jump to DDR3. So unless your motherboard has problems, you'd probably be better off just replacing your CPU with a Q9650 or similar.

The issue is the memory. You're not going to jump to a faster CPU/motherboard combo that still uses DDR2.
