Firstly, watch the spelling & sentence structure.

Next where's the everest file or information with the specifications?

You won't be able to make a top of the range computer from what you have. The main thing that's stopping you is the case - Dell use non-standard designs so you can't fit mainstream motherboards in there.
You may be able to upgrade the graphics card depending on the motherboard and the power supply unit. The power supply unit might be upgradable.
You probably can use an SSD easily enough and RAM is likely to be upgradable.

Is there anything that you want to keep apart from the case? You might be as well off everything new? Is it the size that you like? Maybe a smaller size mATX case might make a nice replacement.

Thanks. Still no file, but that's okay. There's a specifications list here.

According to this, you can upgrade to 4GB. I know sometimes that they put 4GB if they only shipped it with 32-bit Windows, so it may be capable of more.

It has a PCI-E slot so you can upgrade your graphics card up to the limits of the power supply unit. The power supply unit also looks upgradable, so you could replace that.

You could upgrade your processor although you'd be stuck with those supported by your motherboard which wouldn't be as powerful as today's processors and aren't great value for money.

If your money is tight and you can't afford a new system, then maybe get a few upgrades - something like a graphics card and PSU could be brought to a new system. I wouldn't go ploughing money into because many upgrades would be more expensive. For example, last time I checked 8GB of new DDR3 was dearer than 4GB of DDR2 which you'd need for your system.

You can't really keep the case and put in a new motherboard unless you're prepared do do a lot of work in modifying it. You can get somewhat decent cases for €30.

If you were getting a new system, you could salvage pieces from the old. Hard drives are very expensive at the moment due to a shortage, so you could hang onto that. The rest wouldn't be much use.

Depending on exact specifications, you might get €200 for the system.
