So I got a free HP compaq 6000 Pro Small form from my work. My question is if and how I can upgrade it to play Dark Souls 3 on it- parts to get, recommended brands,etc. I'm an amateur in computer mods FYI. Thanks for any help and let me know if you need any further information!

Yep, pop it open and stick this baby in there and DS3 will run at about 45-55 FPS on low settings at 1080p: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127836

Assuming it has one of these CPUs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E7600 Processor (3.06-GHz, 3MB L2 cache, 1066 MHz FSB)
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Processor (3.0-GHz, 6MB L2 cache, 1333 MHz FSB)
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Processor (3.16-GHz, 6MB L2 cache, 1333 MHz FSB)
Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Processor (3.33-GHz, 6MB L2 cache, 1333 MHz FSB)
Intel Pentium dual-core E6300 Processor (2.80-GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Processor (2.83-GHz, 12MB L2 cache, 1333 MHz FSB)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 Processor (3.0-GHz, 12MB L2 cache, 1333 MHz FSB)

And 4 or more GBs of Ram...

If you need more ram, replace any sticks in it with this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0075U12H8/?tag=pcpapi-20 (don't mix ram)
