Can I upgrade my video card to my 8200 Elite Ultra-slim?

[sebislider]

I have a HP Compaq 8200 Elite Ultra-slim PC, with I3-2100, 4GB RAM. I want to upgrade the video-card - actually it has only the integrated video-card and I want to put one that can boost a little bit the computer for some gaming.

My first question: I saw on some forums and comments that the video-card that works is "ATI Mobility Radeon 608544-001 HD 5450 MXM Type A Graphics Card 512MB DDR3". Is it true? This is the only one that works? If so, what kind of power suply I have to buy so it works? (Because I saw that the computer need more power if I install a video-card). Can you give me a link or a name of the power suply that I have to search an buy?

Second question: Can you tell me if I can buy a better video card for this computer? Something like: HP EliteBook 8540p NVIDIA NVS 5100 Video Card 595820-001. It has 1GB RAM and I've seen it on ebay.com but I don't know if the motherboard will support it.

Third question: I wold like also to upgrade the RAM from 4GB to 8GB. Can you tell me what kind of RAM should I search on the internet?

Here are some pictures with the computer details...

Thank you for your help!

That's true. You can order a machine with MXM video card pre-installed.

Finding MXM video card on maket is very hard because retail shops simply won't stock them. You don't need more wattage.

For RAM please use

You can upgrade with the ati mobility card, however depending on what options it may be a headache.  I have the same issue, however my first hurdle was the card I ordered from eBay had no mounting screws... They are teeny tiny.  The second hurdle was the PSU I have was not quite strong enough (135w) as for ram ddr3 sodimm nonecc 4gb cards are fairly cheap for 2 of them. However it will support up to 16gb, but the pair of 8gb cards are a bit pricey.

Tldr;

1.make sure you have the 180w power supply.

2.make sure screws are included with the card.
