I want to upgrade my girlfriends kids' computer, without buying a new one or building one from scratch. So my first question is could I just buy a motherboard, processor and graphics card (and power supply if needed) for him to be able to play games decently? (Skyrim, Minecraft and Elder Scrolls Online).

Im wondering what motherboard would fit in the case, or any tips on what to add to play games decently, he doesnt need to play on maxed settings either, just around medium is fine, so here is the link to what he has now

The description says the PC uses a mini-ITX board so you should be able to replace that with another mini-ITX model.

Does the case itself have cut-outs for expansion slots? If not, that's the end of the line as far as using discrete graphics in your upgrade goes without getting a new case.
