The 4540s has two possible video configurations. Intel HD or AMD Radeon HD 7650 1 or 2 gig. Which do you have? There is no other configuration possible. The motherboards are made by HP and the video is soldered to the motherboard. If you have only the Intel HD video the cost of replacing the motherboard with an AMD Radeon model is not going to make any sense.

Here is the Manual:

 

Manual

 

In your case the processor is not soldered to the motherboard so you can upgrade to an i7 Quad Core i7-3632QM. Max memory is 8 gigs. Not sure what you have. You could upgrade to a solid state drive. Your video is the best possible to install in that laptop and anything else you upgrade will make only a small difference in gaming. 

 

But post back if you want to pursue the CPU, RAM or an SSD.
