Hello guys, I'm new here,but I had a question.
Everyone says how the Intel HD Graphics 4000 isn't to be used for gaming...and they are right. I can barely run many of the games I wanted to.

So I was wondering if I would be able to insert a dedicated video card into this bad boy?

A) Is it even possible?
B) I do not need anything hardcore, just anything that will allow me to play games like PAYDAY 2 even on low graphics.
C) Do I need a better power supply?

Thanks in advance people!

Most laptops cannot be upgraded with a graphics card. You could set up an external graphics card but it really defeats the purpose of having a portable system. The HD 4000 isn't too bad considering the fact that it's mobile graphics. Try lowering the settings and the resolution on the games you are trying to play.

U can upgrade cpu so then check before buying cup check if the integrated graphics card is good or don't care bout it. BUY a good CPU and external vga or plug a mobile vga to ur mini pci slot where u plug the ssd if I am correct.
