Product: HP 15 Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Hello everyone. I have a HP 15 Laptop that has been giving me problems lately. I upgraded my RAM from the original 4 GBs to 16 GBs about 8 months ago. It was doing great for gaming and stuff like that. BUT recently, the laptop has been giving me problems with games that I could run previously(Examples: Rocket League, Overwatch, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Saints Row IV, Subnautica, and H1Z1 to name a few). I know that I shouldn't be able to run some of these games on this system. I have an AMD HD 8400 Integrated Graphics card in here that only puts out 512 MBs of VRAM. I have a quick question: Could I upgrade the motherboard, GPU, and CPU of my model? Or do I have to just get another laptop all together? I don't have enough room in my apartment for a desktop at the moment so that's the reason why I am asking this question. And unfortunately, I don't have enough credit to finance a laptop right now. My drivers are all up to date as far as I know as well. Any answer would be appreciated. 

My system specs are as follows: 

System Model: HP 15 Notebook PC

Processor: AMD A6-5200 with Radeon HD Graphics, 2.0 Ghz Quad Core

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8400 / R3 Series

RAM: 16 GBs (2 8 GB sticks)
