Hello guys, first let me say I'm glad I've found this forum, It's been some time that I wanted to decide and buy a new graphic card for my laptop, but I guess this is the time and I'll start by asking for some help from you.

My laptop is HP Pavilion g6, the specs are the following (using CPU-z)
CPU: http://prntscr.com/5fqo9f
Caches: http://prntscr.com/5fqohx
Mainboard: http://prntscr.com/5fqomk
RAM: http://prntscr.com/5fqos4
SPD: http://prntscr.com/5fqoxh
Graphics: http://prntscr.com/5fqp1b

I wanted to ask you what kind of graphic card would suit my laptop, and which one do you recommend me buy?
I would to play all the latest games... I believe I need another 4GB of RAM memory, and I believe my CPU is good enough, what do you say guys?

Thank you!

GPU can't be changed which is the most important bottleneck you'd be dealing with in gaming, adding more ram won't add much of a performance increase with that system for even regular desktop usage.

I have an intel hd 4000 on my laptop also and a 780ti in my gaming PC, the hd 4000 doesn't do too bad with low settings which surprised me. If you MUST game on a laptop I'd say go with any new gtx 970m or 980m laptop.

Pretty much 80% of laptops are not gpu upgradable ( some gaming laptops you could buy a second card and use sli )
But yours isn`t a gaming laptop.

How about the RAM memory? Could you please suggest me a good (or the best option) for my laptop?
I believe I can only install up to 8GB of ram in this laptop.

Ram doesn`t make any difference tbh

If you want performance get a desktop. For 500$ you could get a decent gaming pc
