How do I know if the graphics card will fit? (And should I get a new graphics card or cpu)

[Calidus_]

I have a Dell Studio 1749. I just upgraded the RAM to 8GB, and my specs are Intel Core i5 CPU m450 @2.4 GHz. My graphics card is also Intel i5. Is there a way to know if the graphics card will fit? And should I upgrade cpu or gpu?

I'm sorry if this isn't correct, I'm a little new to this all.
Thank you in advance for helping!
(My hope is to be able to game on it)

Currently, you're using the integrated graphics from your CPU. You current don't have a graphics card.

Regarding them, you need to know the dimensions of the graphics card you're thinking of, and also what motherboard you have, to see if it'll support the GPU you're thinking of getting.

That's a laptop??

You can't upgrade the graphics.

Oh, I didn't know it's a laptop.

i5-450m made me do a double-take mate (intel m are generally mobile processors) & then i googled it - not your fault at all
