You should be able to drop any LGA1155-socketed processor in there.

shows you what's for sale there in that socket. It looks like you could
stuff a i7-3770K in there?

That said, what's your existing processor? That might not be a huge
upgrade for the $500. If you had the i5-3470 you'd be getting
hyperthreading, 300 MHz, a little more L3 cache, and better onboard
graphics.
