[SOLVED] What am I able to upgrade?

[Ramzyy]

Hey guys, so my brother has a HP dv6-6120se (I'm 90% sure that's what it is) and I'm looking to get him some upgrade parts to make it a somewhat gaming laptop. What is the best cpu, ram and ssd I could get him? and maybe gpu but I'm not sure if you're able to upgrade that. Here's the link to his laptop I found. https://support.hp.com/ie-en/document/c03000373.

The CPU and GPU aren't going to be upgrade-able.

The best you can manage is to upgrade to 8GB RAM if it doesn't already have that, and get an SSD.

It can certainly play some games, but probably not the games you're expecting it to.

So I can't upgrade the CPU at all?

Can't do that on laptops

CPU is already at the best you can do. GPU is usually not upgradeable. SSD would be a SATA SSD like the WD Blue or Crucial MX500 with at least 500GB Storage. RAM maxes out at 8GB DDR3-1333

Note that in this case 8GB will be 2x4GB SODIMMs.
