It supports up to 8 gigs of memory and the processor can be upgraded to an A10-4600M. Here is the Manual:
There is no video card to upgrade, but for the AMD A series models the video is contained in the processor itself so an upgrade of the processor also carries with it an upgrade for the video from HD 7640G to HD 7660G. This would be slight but somewhat noticeable and the clock speed would go from 2.8 ghz to 3.2 ghz which is also not huge but noticeable. Memory is a DDR3-1600 module and you could replace your 2 gig with a 4 gig to go from 6 to 8.
Memory upgrade is easy peasy...CPU/APU upgrade not so much.
