You can definitely upgrade your parts but not as much as you'd like though. I'm not too sure about your CPU and graphics card, but you will only be able to install a maximum of 4GB DDR2 RAM. If you are running 32-bit versions of Windows then it will only recognize about 3 - 3.5GB of RAM, to utilize more, upgrade to 64-bit.

If you are an avid gamer, why not just buy a gaming laptop. It has all the requirements like Ram, proccessor you want.

It's unlikely that you will be able to upgrade the CPU if your system is old, and I have never seen a laptop in which you can upgrade the graphics card. If you can just upgrade to a new system that fits your needs, if you want a good gaming rig that you can carry around look at DELL/Alienware and HP.
