Is there a graphics card slot available to upgrade the graphics card? If so, what type of card would it take?

blackhawkms, Most likely, the card you would upgrade with would be PCI-e X16. This system does have a free slot of that type.

You would need to upgrade the power supply and get a better graphics card, costing you about another 300$ or so.

I personally completely replaced my original Graphics Card with this one (did not keep old card in unit), BUT I watched a YouTube video where they just added the updated newer card to their system. The new card would replace the PCI slot of the original card,,, and then plug the original card into the secondary PCI slot.

probably limited by your (you probably have )onboard video card -you can get one and add it hopefully

The power supply is fine for the unit as is, unless you decide to upgrade something like the graphics card. That would necessitate a power supply upgrade as well.

I am not sure if it's possible to upgrade to the latest technology, it has limited slots and physical internal space to add memory, upgrade processor and so on.. I sold this computer already cause it is discontinued but when I asked that question the geeksquad [best buy] estimated around $400 if you provide the parts..

There's not in mine, but there is a slot in the back that I think you could add it the way I added the video card.

The graphics card leaves much to be desired. I ended up having to replace my video card, but first I had to increase the power supply.

I just watched a video on youtube that answered this question. It seems really easy, there is an underpanel that allows for easy upgrade. Check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55qZwSqOIkk

The answer to this question is unfortunately not. The card currently in this computer is integrated, which means you can't exchange it, you'd have to replace the entire motherboard. And the graphics card is an Intel HD Graphics 4600, which is a pretty fair graphics card when you look at the benchmarks, but cannot act as a standalone processor like the nVidia GTx model cards can.

Yes---you can go up to 16GB in 2 slots but to upgrade the graphics you really would need to put in a more powerful power supply as well.Keep in mind it is a rather small motherboard, unless CyberpowerPC has changed it in the past 6 months .Here are the MB specs http://us.msi.com/product/mb/H81ME33.html#/?div=BasicIt does nicely at gaming without changing anything, if that's what you want to use it for.

No, it is not possible to upgrade the graphics card or it's memory unfortunately.

I can't imagine you really need to upgrade the video card.. it already has a very powerful one installed... Unsure about the memory upgrade question

Justin Fowler, Regarding upgrading the Video Card - We would suggest that you try the games you plan to play, and then decide based on whether or not the performance of the existing card is satisfactory for you. If you find that you would like to upgrade the card, the system is quite capable of being upgraded, as only non-proprietary parts are used in its assembly. Also, should you upgrade the video card, you will want to pay attention to the power requirements of the card you choose. You may or may not need to upgrade the power supply as well. Regardless, please note that the proper installation of any component - internal or external - that does not damage the system will *not* void your system warranty.

Not as it stands, you would need to add a decent graphics card for gaming and a more powerful PSU but it has upgradability for this with a PCI express 2.0 port on the motherboard

I see that same thing in my task manager. I'm not sure, I do know for sure that this motherboard has custom soldered on 4gb of RAM in dual channel configuration and zero sodimm slots period. So, you can not upgrade. It is likely the processor and chipset are able to support another slot, if there were one. Asus has clearly really customized this machine to cram everything in here.
