You can't upgrade from your celeron to 3rd gen i5.
It is not possible since the celeron uses PGA478 while the new i5 uses FCBGA1023 socket.
What you can upgrade in the laptop is add/upgrade the RAM to 4 GB so there will be more headroom for programs to run and multitasking.
No, you can't upgrade your laptop graphics card since it currently uses integrated graphics.
If you wan't to play games I would recommend building a new Desktop since the upgrade path is much more better than a laptop.
Hope this helps.
