@Nandl1 , welcome to the forum.

Q:  Can I upgrade my current graphics card (GTX 960 2gb)

A:  Yes, you can upgrade to any video card that will fit into the space and run on a 500W power supply unit (PSU).  You should measure the space from the Back I/O ports to the front of the case where the card will be installed.  There should be enough space to allow for good airflow.  This is very necessary with newer cards.  Make certain that your PSU has any necessary supplemental power connectors.  Many cards require a 6-pin/8-pin or both.

Q:  is my motherboard OEM locked and needs to be replaced as well.

A:  No, you can upgrade any of the components that have replacements.  Here is the Product Specifications page for the computer.  You should look at the sections titled Processor/Processor upgrade information and Memory/Memory upgrade information.
