Your motherboard is an ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3, and it appears you have 32GB of RAM, not 24. Did you build this?
Yes I did, but once I put the parts in I didn't really pay attention to what I have.
Can my motherboard take one a new processor? I want a faster CPU so my score will be higher.

Your motherboard likely has the bios for a 3770k, but the improvement would be so marginal that it's not even close to worth it. Plus, the CPU doesn't contribute to the 3dmark score nearly as much as your GPU(s).
A 2600K overclocks extremely well, though. The last non-enthusiast chip to use a soldered IHS. 4.8-5.0GHz is practically guaranteed if you have the proper cooling.
