I have a laptop with 8GB RAM, but only an Intel HD graphics 520. It makes sense or makes it possible for the mainboard or power supply etc. Not?
What should the mainboard do? With laptops you can generally not install graphics cards anyway, unless one is already installed, if you mean that.
What do you mean by that?
Do you have a 💩 graphics chip?
YES, it is 💩.
This is not a problem, for normal internet + office + multimedia it all fits together well. The "HD 520" would only be unsuitable for demanding 3D games.
I only recommend you to make sure that the laptop has an SSD hard drive, and also as a resolution: 1920x1080
Notebooks were not primarily developed for gaming and, due to their construction, also bad gaming PCs.
Due to the compact design, only low-performance or low-performance components are used in "gaming" notebooks, because very high performance also generates corresponding waste heat, which due to the compact dimensions can also be dissipated poorly or insufficiently.
In addition, due to the same cooling problem and the non-exchangeable power supply, upgrading is not possible at all or only to a very limited extent. Exchanging a graphics card is not possible.
The advertising and development of or for special "GamingNotebooks" will suggest something different to the consumer, but that has more to do with the background that notebooks in the gaming sector age faster than a strawberry in summer and then quickly because of lack of performance with new titles must be replaced with new ones. The industry sells a complete computer at the same time, whereas with desktop PCs you might even have to replace just one component.
However, since notebooks were primarily not developed for playing but for working, most notebooks are sold without an independent graphics card. So it makes perfect sense.
Of course, the "gaming" industry has recognized this too and is now diligently overpricing hardware for external graphics cards, which adadsurdum leads the notebook concept for "gaming", but this is also sold to the customer through clever advertising. So if your notebook has a Thunderboldt 3 connection, you can purchase an external housing for an independent graphics card:

And the internal graphics unit is completely sufficient only for the Internet and Office.
So Fortnite is playing at 50 FPS, but sometimes there are FPS breakdowns
I have an SSD
Just wanted to ask if I could connect a GTX 950
I have an Acer Aspire 3 8GB RAM
I didn't know you bought the laptop a long time ago.
The Aspire 3 is pretty good for its money, but you would need a much stronger device to play. And unfortunately you can't build a graphics card with Lapotps, this is only possible with PCs.
If you want to play games in high details with a stable 60 FPS, I recommend this desktop https://hardwarerat.de/...a-ssd?c=78
This is pretty much the best value for money you can get as a ready-made PC. This PC would be 10 times faster in games because of the good graphics card and better CPU.
For a laptop that is just as fast, you would have to invest around 1200 EUR.
