I think the best option is to save more and just make a new build. I would reuse the HDD, Disk Drive & OS if possible.

Both the PC itself and the form factor are constraining issues. We're talking, after all, about a business-oriented PC from nearly a decade ago. It does have a PCIEx16 slot, but you can only you cards that are low-profile. A 750ti is about as high as you can go (low profile version) and even that will probably be held back somewhat by the rest of the machine.

And even that's presuming the PSU is somewhat competent, something not necessarily the case on OEM builds, especially ones in which the base configuration uses very little power.

I know this is much higher then there budget but I think its much better to build new and reuse some parts then try to revive an old socket with limited options since its in a small form factor case and most likely low end PSU. You can also save a bit of cash by swapping the CPU to a Skylake Pentium and the GPU to the AMD R7 360.
