You cannot install a video card internally into the system - because of the location of the wireless socket, you will wind up with a notebook where you can't reinstall the keyboard. You'll also need to use a USB external wireless adapter to replace the internal one you'll have no space for. Also bear in mind that while there are PCIe video cards for notebooks, you essentially turn your notebook into a desktop system - they won't work with the internal display panel (only with an external) and you'll have to leave the keyboard off the system in order to route the cables out to the external display.
All in all, this is a project not worth doing - by the time you buy the card, cables, etc. and basically sacrifice your mobility to a hacked desktop system, you may as well simply buy a desktop computer for whatever requires the video upgrade, and leave your notebook intact for mobile use.

It is the socket occupied by your wireless network card.
