Shimano RSX upgrade questions

Hi, I have a Schwinn Passage that uses a Shimano RSX groupset and I'm looking for an upgrade. I just want to know if the bottom bracket and other things would be compatible with a Shimano 105 groupset. I'm fine with replacing everything like wheels if needed but I just need to know if it's possible.

Thanks

But it will it the bottom bracket right?
