It's not practical to upgrade that machine.
You will just go from one weak part to the next and the next.

If using a hdd consider swapping to a ssd that will give a nice bump in perf and it can be moved to the next machine you get.

Get the proper bios and drivers and then do some house cleaning.

What's the budget? What are the goals?

Just from a general standpoint, this is a very old entry-level gaming rig. The time to start upgrading was like five or six years ago. At this point, everything would need to be upgraded, depending on what you're trying to do.
