Can I upgrade this laptop with a new video card?
It is a Samsung Laptop model number np305v5a-a0dus
I know it has an integrated graphics card but is there anyway to upgrade it with a new card or something maybe in a different slot or something. Or at the very least is it possible to get an external graphics card. Anyway to upgrade it as it is rather laggy when playing most games even at lower settings.

No to both (can't upgrade new card, can't use external card)
The only way to upgrade would be to get a whole new motherboard (along with all the other parts), and the cost of that would exceed the cost of a brand new laptop.
If you want to game, buy a desktop. Laptops are 99% of the time not upgradeable. And more expensive.

I have bad news for you:
This is a picture of your motherboard
http://cdn3.volusion.com/axvsf.hatjb/v/vspfiles/ph...
There is no sort of MXM slot on it, there is no way to add a 2nd GPU and the 3530MX APU you have in your laptop is an FS1 socket, meaning the highest APU you can put in there is a 3550MX APU (same as mines).
Nope, its not possible, for your specific motherboard.

Not possible at all.
What you need to do is save up those pennys and when the time comes build a PC by buying the parts from Newegg then enjoy gaming.
Good luck.
