Default Need advice on upgrading current computer

Hi,
I currently have the computer in this setup:
ASUS M2N-MX...not SE version
AMD x2 4600+
4Gb cosair value DDR2 800
450W power supply
hd 4870
small tower case that only fits matx board...


I just want to upgrade the cpu because it's kind of out dated, but don't really want to change the whole system again, so as less items as possible is preferred.
I am interested in triple or quad cores.
And, of course I want to save as much money as possible.
Budget about $300.

I don't mind getting a cooler to oc the cpu.
Any suggestions? Thanks guys.
