This is a document which gives technical details about this desktop range.
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/624394/Dell-Optiplex-740.html?page=9#manual
This page explains the current supported CPUs for the motherboard installed. However if you want to upgrade your motherboard then one needs to research a motherboard/CPU combination that fits your requirement and fits inside the case.
Hope that enables you to make a decision on which way to go.
