What's your reason for the upgrades, what are you hoping to gain from it?

That PC is really end of life, I wouldn't suggest putting any money into it, just save up for a replacement.

I would like to reuse the case and HDD. Just want to change the mother board, processor and bump the RAM and continue using it.

Like I say, it's end of life, a new build would make more sense

You'd have to change PSU and depending on what processor you chose likely the case and cooler also.

It's a full system rebuild.
