If your Dell has an open PCIe slot, and if the power supply is sufficent, and the case has enough room, you can add a video card - and memory - and upgrade your single core processor to a 2 or 3 core AMD cpu - if the mobo BIOS will support one.
Seriously, it would be easier - and not much more expensive - to start over. I don't do AMD builds, but someone may come along who can give you an example.

Best solution
Computer specs? What model?
Most likely you will have to buy a whole new computer altogether. If you wanted real performance, you'd probably need a new cpu, mobo, gpu, ram, psu. Upgrading one would result in a bottleneck with the others.
A decent budget build that you could probably get for 500 or less:
AMD atx mobo ~70
athlon ii x4 ~100
radeon 4850 1gb ~90
2gb ddr3 ~40
400w psu ~40
full atx case ~50
But you'd need to get windows too if you don't already have it.
