1. No. You're limited to 4th generation Intel CPUs -- nothing newer will work. And no CPU upgrade will expand on the 32G limit the system has -- that's a function of the mainboard, which is not upgradeable.
2. The GTX 880 and 980 should work with that system - that said, in MXM3 format, you're likely to find the cost near or over $1,000 just for the GPU -- very few of these were made, and a limited market means a high price.
3. Any 2.5" SATA SSD will work. The system also supports mSATA (the older card format SSD type - NOT the now common M.2 SSD). You'll likely find limitations on capacity in mSATA format -- and since the type is obsolete, the price is likely to be higher than for a 2.5" SSD.
