Hi,

You can defeinately upgrade you Graphics.  First of all, this depends on the games you play or may want to play in the furure.  upgrading the graphics should not mess your power supply, usually this hapens with laptops.  However i would suggest you upgrade to least 4GB and that should allow you to play all games now and also that games that may release for the next 3 years least.

 

Hope this helps.  Godspeed on your gaming

 

 

Regards

Arick
