Not worth it. At the very least your upgrade should be to a tri-core chip, but they're not worth it price-wise.

Your motherboard probarbly can't handle AM2+ processors so phenoms are out of the question, the 5000+ should play most games maxed out expect crysis, well my 4200+ did anyway. AMD is not the way to go, Intel have a massive lead over AMD in the CPU market.
