Not really any 'upgrade' path.
If you change one thing, the rest of it is very underpowered.

So you have to change everything, and build a whole new PC.
with an old non efi mb he limited to the max size the bios will see and use. for ram a lot of old pc 2g of tam was the max. he can go to crucial web page and run there system tests to see if the pc can take more ram. if the pc has pci video slot he need to change the power supply as it under powered for any gaming gpu.
