The box says this
ASRock aliveNF5-eSATA2
I assume I should be able to install a new processor in there, right?

Greetings.
I am looking to upgrade my current PC setup.
Right now, I have
an Athlon 64 X2 5200 dual core,
two sticks of 2GB RAM at 800 MHz,
an ATI Radeon 5570,
and a Chieftec 450W power supply.
I was thinking about picking up a new graphics card—maybe a 6770 or perhaps a Radeon HD 7770—and then, down the road, maybe swapping out the processor... I suppose you could say I'm wondering if I'm headed in the right direction? Or, I guess, would I even really need a better processor at all?
edit: I forgot to mention that the processor is running at 2.7 GHz.
Thank you.
