Replace board if needed.
Have a q6600 Go stepping model (oc'd ideally or higher socket 775 or a pin modded cpu) with a 1050ti.
Cheapest upgrade path aside from a whole new system.
Whole new system will most likely cost less.
You can get a Refurbished Dell desktop for 150$ with a I5-4590 + 8GB Ram and 500GB HDD.
+ You add a GTX 1650 (150$) and you get a really basic and working ''low-end Gaming'' desktop for 300$. If he got a little extra may spend +30$ for a 250GB SSD.
Plus, i'm not sure where OP is from but he can most likely get something used/craiglist with much better specs for less than 300$.
