To be honest with you there will be no more high-end processors for a socket that is soon to be EOL'd. Intel has discontinued the QX9770 a few months ago, and (depending on your current motherboard) your system might not be able to support any processor newer than the one you currently have at all. As such, I would not spend even one cent on such an aged platform.
