If it doesn't support Phenom II's, I would suggest you sell your mobo, and get a cheap 780G / 785G board, and get a Phenom II dual or tri core.
Or you could go with like a Phenom 9850 / 9950...but its not going to be much better than your current CPU at all.
Sell the board and CPU(s), and replace both so you can use a Phenom II or Athlon II.

maybe one of the cheaper quads? It sounds like overclocking will be a necessity then.
