Kick up the Ram to 4gb $30ish and look for a older GPU 8500 Geforce or better $20ish. Ditch Windows and install Ubuntu which is free, very supported and takes less resources to run. You wont have to deal with running a anti virus and anti malware bloat like you will on windows as the core isn't open like a pile of Swiss cheese.
