Do you need a motherboard that is compatible with the DDR2 and that accepts the LGA775 socket?

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.

Ebay is the only place you'll find what you need, although with used ram prices, you'll not be limited to ddr2, 8Gb of ddr3 is cheap enough and often included in combo deals.

With $100 and if you have patience, you should be able to get next gen 1155 or 1150 socket mobo + CPU + 4G or 8G RAM DDR3. Even i3 is way better than core 2 duo e8500.

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.

The Q9650 is a 3.0GHz c2q that's supported by your mobo. It's the best you can do other than the QX9770 c2dE at 3.2GHz, but you'd be better off with the c2q 4 core over the faster c2d. It's as good as you'll get without a total revamp.
