Here is the Service Manual:

 

Manual

 

Intel Core i7-5500U processor and 2 GB of discrete graphics

The above would be the top processor motherboard. However, the video is still the 820M 2 gb video you have on your laptop. 
So upgrading to this board if you could even find it would do very little for gaming performance. And you would need a new heatsink, as well. 
 
Post back with any other questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
