No, you cannot upgrade the GPU. Some models (newer) have the Graphics AMP slot for external gpu but that's about it. CPU and GPU are soldered to the mainboard.

Most laptops cannot be upgraded since all parts are soldered to the motherboard. See the service manual for all parts that can be replaced-- https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/alienware-17-laptop_service-manual_en-us.pdf
