To add more information in case you weren't aware, or don't understand PCs all that well, that PC is extremely old. If that isn't the case then ignore the rest of this post.

PC hardware has exploded in the last 10 years. Its slowing down, but more powerful hardware is released every year. A PC with 2014 hardware compared to one 10 years ago is like comparing a blu ray player to an audio cassette player.

Windows XP is 13-14 years old now, and Microsoft no longer supports it.

The CPU is designed for mass budget PCs for offices and schools, not gaming or emulation.

The video card is far less powerful than even modern onboard video from Intel, which is not very good either.

If you are interested in upgrading, sales on older (but still good) hardware will be going on after the release of the new Intel processors and mobos supporting the Z97 chipset.
