I would say CPU and/or monitor

Some guy called my office, trying to sell me computers. I just said "oh you mean those little box's with the tv on top? Yeah, our accountant has some". He promptly gave up and hung up the phone lol

Upgrade your Cpu, and monitor, possibly case. IF you upgrade your cpu you will need new ram and a new mobo too.

Couldn't I just find something like an i5 that fits in my socket?

you could but a newer platform would be better although it would cost more.
