The upgrade would require a replacement system board. The entire system has a value of $50-75 complete and working and even with that GPU, will not be a gaming system.
You'll need a larger budget for anything remotely gaming capable. A decent gaming notebook will run $1,500 new and even a compromise system will be $1,000 -- and used gaming notebooks can be risky buys from a reliability standpoint.
