I have an old Dell OptiPlex GX620. (link to specs below) I would love to give it the highest upgrade possible so I can continue to use it as a household working computer. (I wouldn't mind putting a graphics card in there). I'm having trouble finding information on what parts I could put in it. Is there any mobo that would fit in the case that anyone knows of? If not, what is the best possible processor I could replace the old one with?

Also, if there are any graphics cards you would suggest I put in that would be appreciated.

The Optiplex series is an excellent range of modular business class machines. Even the older models are still useable. It's easy to open up the machine and reveal everything. You can install more RAM - that will give a big improvement and you can install a new graphics card with onboard memory but I don't think that it's worth while replacing the processor. The machine does not have a high worth. You may be able to find another similar second hand machine online with better specs for less money than upgrading your own machine. OR you could buy a newer Optiplex
