An odd question without knowing your motive !🤔🙄

The unit is circa 2012, the last tested CPU was the AMD A10-5800K. ($40-$65). That is only an 8% increase.

RAM:  kit of 2x8 GB (16 GB total) times 2would equal 32 GB installed. $152

Any GPU card would require a new PSU, likely in the 600W-650W range.( Corsair CX 650 $85-$90).

Now to pick a GPU card, lets see, you did not stand your goal? 

Price range $650-$875 if it will drop into your chassis.
