Should I upgrade my laptop?

Hey, should I upgrade my HP Pavillion g6-2010nr? I sometimes use it for gaming. The games play just fine provided that I tone down the graphic settings (don't really care about graphics). However, I just want them to play a little smoother.

Specs:

HP Pavillion g6-2010nr

CPU:
Intel Core i3 2350M @ 2.30GHz (The most I can upgrade it to is the Intel Core i5-2450M @ 2.50 GHz (SC turbo up to 3.10 GHz). I just want to know if the upgrade is worth it.)

RAM:
4GB (The second slot is empty. Should I put a second 4GB module, and reach the maximum?)

Thanks to all and God bless.

Can you tell us what the GPU (Graphics Card) is?

Looking up that laptop, it looks like it's Intel HD Graphics 3000.

In my opinion you're best off just lowering the graphics as low as you can. That laptop isn't meant for gaming. If you really want to you could try upgrading the CPU, but it may or may not work.
