Hi, I've been playing games on my computer lately and have noticed it has trouble running some of the more intensive games. I was wondering if there is a way I can upgrade the graphics card to something more powerful/advanced. I have a  HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M

Unfortunately, the GPU is not upgradeable in these units.  You would have to upgrade the entire motherboard package, which would be costly and cause potential reliability issues in the future.  Your best option would be to upgrade to a newer notebook with the GPU and specs you require.
