Right now i got a i5 4210u however its graphics is only 4400 Will it be worth it to go for new cpu for its gpu?

I would say not. What are the other specs of your computer, particularly the PSU? If you want to upgrade your graphics, and have a strong enough PSU, take the money you would have spent on a new CPU and get a discrete graphics card. You will be much happier in the long run.

Just to clarify, that is a laptop CPU so you have a laptop. What is the exact model?

Most laptops have un-upgradable CPU and GPU so you may be stuck on what you have.

You can go to HP's website, look up your model and see if it is upgrade-able. I would say not. That's how HP makes money on laptops, by making you buy a whole new machine just to upgrade graphics.

Thats a BGA socket CPU, soldered in.

Upgrading your CPU is impossible. The laptop's motherboard already comes with the CPU "fit" into it permanently and you can't replace it.

Most laptops also do not have expandability for a dedicated GPU so you are pretty much stuck on what you had.

The only thing most laptops can be upgraded with is RAM.
