Hello very old friend the PC think when you can renovate

Personally I think you might be better spending your money on a newer PC than upgrading on this one.You can get a much better PC for not much more than you will pay on the upgrade.For just browsing and everyday use you can get one with a good Intel CPU with built in graphics and eliminate the need and cost of a GPU.
Desktop or laptop IMO a new machine would be the best decision

Its too old to do any upgrade on that PC. Nothing much to improve performance on that configuration. Better to go with a complete new system.

Well actually go to purchase a new one, you may save more money all around than those parts by parts; its totally an old and better to use for testing purposes only.

Are you running Windows XP?

In this case, in addition to hardware, you should also upgrade the operating system because XP is no longer supported, so I also recommend buying a new PC.
