I don't think there is any Core 2 duo / 2 Quad could be equivalent to your CPU in Dolphin
Your CPU may not be the best CPU for Dolphin but it isn't that weak
Base on our bencchmark , FX-8350 stock = i5 2500k @ 3.3GHz (underclocked) .
Since Dolphin is a dual core application ...Don't expect good result with Core 2 Quad , it won't be a huge improvement over Core 2 duo (Core 2 Quad clock speed is lower anyway)
If i was you , i will replace that mobo with H81 mobo , maybe DDR3 RAM (if yours are DDR2) and Pentium Haswel G3220 which is equivalent to FX-8350 @ 5.0GHz in Dolphin
