Hi,

 

Normally upgrading graphics card for a NORMAL laptop is a no no situation and impossible in many cases. In your case, you may have to upgrade the cooling system (fan, heat sink assembly), and probvably a new mother/system board.

 

In short: buy a new machine such as one of these for gameming:
