Old PC upgrade. Motherboard P5K WS. Do I need to change my old 9600GT graphics card?

Upgrading an old Windows XP PC. Hangs. The Internet flies. Crashes to blue screen.
Thank you very much for your great advice. As best I could, I took them into account, vacuumed the computer, checked the temperatures ( https://pastenow.ru/F3TN3 photo attached), changed the thermal paste (under the cooler there was a cracked dry film ( https://pastenow.ru/F3TIQ photo attached), which , I think, did not transfer heat from the processor to the radiator at all, I hardly wiped off this film.Proc
under the cooler: Intel_Core_2_Duo_86 E8600_3.16GHz_6M_1333.Following your advice, I ordered an inexpensive "Xeon E5450" processor on Ali to replace it.I

thought about ordering it on Ali SSD 250 GB, but did not dare: I could not choose.
I found the connectors on the motherboard - they seem to be SATA (https://pastenow.ru/F3TQT photo attached). On Ali among different brands (KingSpec, Kingchuxing, KingDian, Xraydisk, Goldenfir, Adata, SanDisk ... and another 500 thousand), some are much more expensive than others with the same capacity.
What low cost SATA SSD brand would you recommend?

I hope that by replacing the Intel_Core_2_Duo_86 E8600_3.16GHz_6M_1333 processor with a "Xeon E5450" and
installing an SSD, I can install Win 7 or Win 10 instead of Win XP, and my computer. it will stop hanging, crashing from the Internet, crashing into a blue screen ( https://pastenow.ru/F3TNX photo is attached)

I now have an old 9600GT PCI-E 1024MB DDR2 video card on my motherboard ( https://pastenow.ru/F3TT2) . Does she need to be changed? Or will "Xeon E5450" work well with this card as well? If you change, then FOR WHAT, so that it fits? There are more connectors on the motherboard: https://pastenow.ru/F3U1O

do not touch the vision.
you can buy an ssd in a regular store, with your PC its characteristics are not particularly important, as long as it works

You should not try to upgrade it, but douse it with gasoline and burn it. And then go for a new PC...

I thought it was trolling, but no,
a year ago a person wondered whether to put Win-10 on an old PC instead of Win XP
, then in August the freezes began, and at the end of November the situation is also not very good, but I think it’s still too early, it will still work, but next year, you can already think about it, maybe it's time, but don't rush, maybe it will last until the summer.

No need to buy an SSD in China. The difference in price is small, but the probability of problems is high. Take any inexpensive in the nearest decent store.
And you can not think about replacing the video card, in the current realities this is for the rich. Unless you look for something on Avito, but a video card with Avito is that lottery

I don't know about SSD. Try Windows10 Home instead of XP!
