Ok... I currently own an ASUS vivopc vm60 intel i5, 8 ram, and 250SSD.. And I want to be able to play games on the computer that are moderate like Rust MAINLY, but my graphics card is holding me back. I have intel HD graphics 4000, and I want to replace it. I know it's apart of the processor so I heard. Although, could I change out ANYTHING to get it replaced (in the computer). Also for those who know, what can I take from my computer when and if I can replace the graphics. This would be amazing if you can answer this for me, thanks!

PS: Any GPU replacement product you guys think I should get?
 
Solution
The VivoPC VM60 is a small PC made with laptop parts and a 65Watts external power supply, you can't add a discrete GPU to it.
If you want to game you will need a new pc.

Technically you don't have a graphics card, it's just integrated into the processor. If you get a graphics card your computer will use that for graphics instead of the processor. Something like a 750 Ti would be more than enough for Rust. Do some research on things like your power supply and make sure it isn't garbage so you can actually support a graphics card.

So, how will I add the card if I do get my computer to be able to get enough power to power it? I haven't opened up my computer yet to see what is going on under the hood.
