Laptops are not very upgradeable. If can return it then return it and get a different one such as an asus ROG with a 970m or 980m or some other laptop with either of those gpus. Also consider building your own desktop, its pretty fun.

for that you should get some thing like this
asus ROG G751

Core i7 4710HQ (2.50GHz)
16GB Memory
1TB HDD
256GB SSD
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M 3GB
1920 x 1080 res
Windows 8.1 64-Bit
$1749@newegg
all you can do on old laptops are to upgrade ram and hdd to ssd if possible

So with the specs of my laptop how will it perform when playing games like witcher and crysis?

 

[john TJ]

at that resolution that will handle almost all games at high and ultra settings

Your GPU isn`t very powerfull so you might have problems with the most demanding games. However, you should be fine with low-medium settings.

Some laptops are upgradeable. I don't think yours is, however. The 840M is a mid range graphics chip that will play most modern games on medium settings, some maybe on high settings. The link Lare111 posted is a good resource for getting an idea of what your laptop will be capable of (your experience may vary).
