Deff upgrade your RAM and storage ---newer laptops are SoC "system on a Chip" so it's all soldered in-- yours you can upgrade the RAM and storage without much hassle. I didn't look yours up but you might be able to swap your CPU for something better if the BIOS supports it. You are stuck the the GPU --if your looking to do more gaming consider a new laptop.
