>core 2 duo
>bargain basement PSU
>empty pci-e slot

Cheapest thing would be to add a GPU and better PSU to handle it. More ram to bump it up to 4+ GB would help but ddr2 is probably still overpriced.

Forgot to mention a new case would help too since it looks like you're having heat issues. Protip: cases are usually designed to have the side panel stay on for better airflow.

Trisquel is the one and only GNU plus Linux distro worth using.

What are you goals with your box? There are only a few lga 775 chips that can keep up with mid spec modern games. Its not the end of the world though. Ive got a (LGA) q6600 in the gfs rig with a 7770 and she can run something like overwatch @ 37-55 fps mid settings. You can pick up that proc refurb for like $50 shipped. Any gfx card will be an upgrade. I just peeped a 7770 on ebay just now for $60 shipped, to get the most of your money you'd have to get used though. I never have had any problems and ebay lets you purchase without an account now for buy it now stuff. Apart from that you dont want less than 8g of ram else the rest of your stuff will be held back.
Cooling is pretty important. Rather than target cooling, you need a sealed unit that moves air out of the case fast enough to keep the sinks fed with fresh. That usally means using 1 or 2 extra exhaust fans located around the top and rear, with the intake fans low and in front.

you could have something completely competent for 100/150 or so invested id think
