Hello,
I have an 15" HP laptop, with AMD A8-6410 APU and a AMD Radeon R5 graphics card. The maximum display it can take is 1366x768. I'm not really happy with that.

So, I want to upgrade. My PC runs OK, but not for gaming. I get about 14-25 FPS on Minecraft, and it lags as heck with GTA IV. Nope, my PC isn't slowed down with trash, etc. It's just it needs upgrading..

Anyways, can you guys recommend me some upgrades compatible for my laptop? Here's a DxDiag report: http://pastebin.com/CTvY95wG

.. I've also noticed that my WiFi is running slowly, getting about 14-30/ms. Do I need a new Wireless adapter? Let me know, thanks!

You cannot upgrade the APU, it is soldered into the motherboard. If you want better performance in games you will need to buy a new laptop. Most laptops use CPUs that are soldered into the motherboard.
