I bought a refurbished Lenovo M Series (M82 i think) from Micro Center about six months ago. My old PC broke and I needed something cheap on short notice. The salesman there found me one with the i5 3470 and 8GB of RAM for just under $330 (US).
So far, I've only used it for basic tasks such as web browsing and watching streaming content. I've done my gaming on console. Lately, I've been seeing games (like Playerunkown's Battlegrounds) that make me want to take my first steps into the world of PC gaming. My question is; Can I do this by upgrading my Lenovo?
It only has the Intel HD graphics card in it now, and I know that wont cut it for games. The case is very small so that may be a factor as well.
Can I upgrade the GPU in order to play games like that or should I just wait and save up to build a gaming PC?
