OK, this doesn't really answer your question, but I assume that you have already checked to see that your motherboard is compatible with the new CPU?

There is a possibility that it is not.

You will also need to replace memory if you want it to run at full speed.

Agreed, you'll need to check it's compatible, but the E2160 is much faster than the D805.

Then go for it, it's certainly an upgrade, and it will save you a lot of energy. Plus it's one of the easiest CPUs to overclock in the world.
