No, it's not possible. And you can't even gut it. Nothing on that PC is remotely salvageable, Kevin.
The PC, even if it adheres to industry standards (doubtful for an HP Vectra), uses the old AT standard, while PCs have been using the ATX standard since 2003 or so. So nothing on that machine (RAM, motherboard, power supply, case) is compatible with anything released today. You would be hard-pressed to even find a modern video card that would work with it, even if you decided to upgrade it.
WoW doesn't even require that much power to run, relative to modern standards, but I doubt it would even start up on that PC.
It's not worth it, Kevin. I'm sorry, brother, but it would be better to wait and continue to bargain than to accept this machine, unless you want to sacrifice any chance of playing games on the PC, period.
