Hi,

Basically, it is not possible to upgrade the PC for gaming. There is no slot for a graphics card. There is no Thunderbolt port for an external graphics card.

The only way would be to replace the motherboard which would probably cost more than a new PC.

 

My advice would be to build a small gaming desktop, maybe with used parts online. You could probably build for quite a low cost depending on what you want to play.
