Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi I actually was trying to play Rust on steam and Came to the realization that my Core needs a update. Im not very good with computers and am trying to spend my money on the right parts. Here are the parts that i want to purchase but I don't know if they work in the computer with the specs, My question is can i put these parts in the laptop and still be able to game?
