Is it possible to upgrade old desktop?

[srdigit16]

I would like to have 12 or 16 GB RAM (for Android Development, using emulators like LD Player which mostly need a processor upgrade & graphics card).

You have to change all components honestly. Everything is just too old. IMO decide on a budget fast as sale is going on.

You can just buy a laptop & be done with it, something like this at least:
*www.amazon.in/ASUS-VivoBook-i3-1005G1-Integrated-X415JA-EB332TS/dp/B098F7B54W/
Or this for something more powerful:
MSI Modern 15 Ryzen 5 Hexa Core 5500U - (8 GB/512 GB SSD/Windows 10 Home) Modern 15 A5M-065IN Thin and Light Laptop Rs.69990 Price in India - Buy MSI Modern 15 Ryzen 5 Hexa Core 5500U - (8 GB/512 GB SSD/Windows 10 Home) Modern 15 A5M-065IN Thin and Light Laptop Carbon Gray Online - MSI : Flipkart.com

Buying parts & getting a PC assembled is expensive. Budget PC parts have risen in price compared to early 2020.

Mm, I have the cabinet with SMPS, PS2 keyboard and mouse, it will save some amount right?
And with the current configuration, if I buy a basic monitor & upgrade Ram to 8 gb, I can use it for light tasks like browsing, ms office etc right?

If the smps is old or doesn't have the required power acc. To new rig it needs to be changed. Also depends on age of psu

Based on your usage, you won't need a High-End specs for Android Development/Emulator. 8GB RAM is sufficient but 16GB is the sweet spot.
Go with AMD build (if budget is low). But you have not mentioned your budget ?

PS2 ports are extinct, not worth buying a converter. PSU might be useful, I can't say. Which model is it?

Also, decide on a budget.

For casual users, my pick will be laptops or laptop+monitor.
