Pentium D 960 with the performance copper heatsink is max. The XPS400 and Precision 380 are basically the same machine but the XPS 400 has the PS2 ports removed.Pentium D 900 series is required for 64 bit windows 8.1 or 10.

I have seen inexpensive Pentium D's on Ebay and Amazon

SL9QQ seems to be the max for a 5150

Before installing the processor, check that you have the latest BIOS version installed, because with BIOS version A04, support for newer processors was added.
