With an older PC, you have to be careful of chasing an unobtainable solution. Change one part, and you almost certainly have to change others.

New GPU? Need a better PSU as well.
RAM/CPU/motherboard all work together. Change one, you have to change all.
Will any new parts fit in the existing case?

Pretty soon, you've just built a whole new PC! And spent more money doing it.
