Chances are that machine is too old for upgrading. You're better off starting from scratch on a build, since to get anywhere close to current you'd need to change motherboard, processor, RAM, probably power supply and video card.

Your mobo looks to be a standard ATX board... which is good. Your power supply is far from standard, but at least it is 460W.

You will be looking at a mobo, CPU, and RAM (as your system uses DDR).

What's your budget?
