The gpu upgrade is not really possible. The video chip is soldered to the motherboard and not removeable or replaceable or upgradeable. Here is the Manual:
You have 12 gigs of DDR4-2133 SO-DIMM RAM or an 8 gig and a 4 gig and the max would be 2 x 8 = 16. 12 gig to 16 gig upgrade will have no effect on gaming performance and very little on overall performance.
Your huge performance upgrade would be a solid state drive...the 5400 rpm mechanical "spinner" hard drive is the system bottleneck but SSDs again have almost zero impact on gaming fps.
Post back with any more questions.
