Hi @mirtex,
I hope you enjoy your visit to the HP Support Forums. I understand you questions about upgrades. I will be glad to help you.
This mother board can take many different Processors. You did not say which pentium came with the computer, per spec is intel core I3-3120m. On page 19 and 20 of the Maintenance and Service Guide is a list that will fit the motherboard. the fastest being Intel Core i7-3632QM (2.2 GHz, SC turbo up to 3.2 GHz, 1600 MHz/6 MB L3 cache, quad core, 35 W) part number 701658-001
The GPU or graphic card it is part of the mother board and not exchangeable.
You have already upgrade the memory to 8GB, the max.
Let me know how things went and I will gladly do all I can to help you.
