If you're only getting 1 quad, and it's a DDR2 system, then IMO it isn't worth it. It's barely better than what you're running now and adding another slow quad isn't going to make the system any better. What you need is more IPC and a better graphics card.
In all honesty something like an i3 3220, or even a first gen i5 if you could get one real cheap would be a hell of alot better than this workstation.
I would run prime95 to check for CPU stability after you get your new GPU cooler.
