Your question is very general. I suggest you search and read tutorials on "How to mine Ethereum" first. There are even videos out there if you don't want to read.
But to answer your question, yes,
you can mine
eth with a desktop and a graphics card. That answers the question if you can mine, but the real question for most is
can you profit
from mining ethereum today? And that is what all this forum category is usually about. Good luck to you.

Doesn t worth it, it will domage your unit for few bucks a weeks and you will even more for electrecity. (for laptop with good GPU)
Otherwise, you get nothing from an old one.

Judging from some of the beginner guides that you can find out there and even a few on this forum itself, the short answer is yes, it is still possible and profitable to mine ethereum with a desktop. However, if you have an existing desktop and want to use it to mine ETH, you probably will not make any money (you might get some ETH but your bills will crash your profit).
According to this post from Ethereum forum, you can easily set up a desktop computer using these specs and make profit:

You need good graphics cards to mine the ETH. You cannot use CPU.

Yes it depends on the graphics card you have to determine if its worthwhile, I dual mine on my desktop with an RX480, use
https://whattomine.com/
to check profitability for your card. At the moment with difficulty so high you won't make much profit.

I am not sure if mining Ethereum is profitable this time but I would suggest you to mine some altcoins because it has the potential to have higher value especially when they appear in the exchange and if those are having active developer.

Dude he is asking about the ethereum profitability and configuration he wants to use for altcoin mining. You guys just passed the link about it instead of that you can share the complete information to him right! Don't understand for the basic query. He might be top in the different platform.
CPU mining is not profitable if you mines with i7 and its all 8 cores also. @op You can mine with the multiple gpu cards like radeon cards and nvidia 1080ti cards. Google it for more information.

what kind of desktop maybe you need to be specific, desktop which can install amd/nvidia gpu and the answer is yes mate, but you need some good investment with your cards, with the profitability its a question how long you can wait because even you are just getting small fraction of eth from you
rig but after some years for sure the value will rise higher than we expect.
