@BigLarryMan, welcome back to the forum.
Here is the Product Specifications page for the computer. You can upgrade the processor, memory, video card and power supply unit (PSU).
The processor and memory upgrade information entries will give a list of compatible upgrades.
Newer video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS. The last video cards that didn't require UEFI are the GTX 660/670. They are very powerful cards. As for the PSU, I like Corsair products. I recommend at least 500W. A modular PSU is good for a small case because you only have to use the cables that are absolutely necessary.
Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.
