I got a hp pavilion sleekbook 15-b006ee , can I buy a new graphics card and put it in my laptop? I really like this laptop but the graphics card is not that good... GeForce GT 630M, the laptop is actually really slim, and I was wondering if I can do that.

I'm looking for something like GTX or something better... is it possible?

Some pictures might help you out (maybe):

Short answer is no, long answer is maybe, but you'd need to find a GPU compatible with that motherboard, somehow buy one (e.g. GTX 760m) and then hope the battery, and all other components, can handle it.

You CANNOT fit a desktop grade graphics card into a laptop. And even if you could fit it in, too much heat would be generated for the laptop to even work

If your on board GPU can handle games then stick with it for now :) If you want a gaming PC though, post on the forums and we'll all be happy to help you select parts within your budget :)
