E3110 is a server processor. It performs similar to an E8400 but runs on lower voltage. It has the latest media encoding instructions but not quite as advanced for gaming.
The E5xxx processors are quite capable and can do a lot. I have an E5300 in my media build.
I think the largest upgrade you can do right now is in your HDD. Get a SSD.
2GB of RAM is plenty for things today. You could upgrade your board, but there is no point really. If you're upgrading the board you might as well go to the 1156 or 1366 platform as that is becoming more mainstream and cheaper.
You could also get a GTX series card. (or if your board supports it, SLI your 250)
