For my laptop I have the following specs. It is pretty slow but I am yet to upgrade the RAM and hard drive to SSD

Below are the specs

Processor type Intel Celeron N2820
Processor clock frequency 2.13 GHz
Number of CPU cores 2
Memory type DDR3
RAM 4GB

Back to the original EVGA GTX670 FTW 4GB GDDR5 that I was looking to install would this laptop be suited to that card or does anyone here have any suggestions as to what graphics card would be suitable for heavy video production in Premier Pro CC for a Packard Bell Easynote TE69BM

Option 2 would I just be better of buying a higher performance laptop instead of putting money into an 3 year old laptop that was originally bought for browsing and some light work . I think I already know the answer but then again maybe the members here will be able to advise me.


Once again Thanks in advance. Your advice is greatly welcomed

Admirable
Besides the fact you cannot upgrade most laptops other than the HDD and Ram, that CPU is way to slow for any video work besides SD. It will take hours to render even a 1080p video thats longer than 5 minutes. You are better off getting a new laptop with a i5 or higher. The video card doesn't matter so much because Premiere uses the CPU to render and only the video card for 3D and effects. You final render is still the CPU.
