Summary :
What is my motherboard model? (so I can see if my upgrades are compatible).

What is the best gaming CPU I can use with this unknown motherboard if I can't find a cheap upgraded version?

I tried using Speccy, CPU-z, partpicker and crucial, but they don't really help me. Cnet has the specs for it, but I can't use it to compare with motherboards titled z this and letter and numbers that.

Specs:
DX4870-UB318 from Wal-MArt back in 2013 - 14

The processor is factory default
Intel Core i5 3330 1155 LGA @ 3.00GHz

mother board
What is it?

Nothing is wrote on the board itself except Asus

This is what Speccy gives me
Manufacturer Gateway
Model DX4870 (SOCKET 0)
Chipset Vendor Intel
Chipset Model Ivy Bridge
Chipset Revision 09
Southbridge Vendor Intel
Southbridge Model P75/B75
Southbridge Revision 04
PCIex16 1
PCIE 3

FINALLY, here are my upgrades I am using right now with the unknown motherboard:
