What parts can I upgrade on my iMac?

Hello, I’ve recently purchased an I Mac and while I love it, I would like to upgrade the RAM, Processor and, Graphics Card. I am already in the process of ordering more RAM (I’ll be upgrading from 8 to 32 gigs) but, as ive heard, the processor can be upgraded as well, but i’m not entirely sure if, first of all, that’s true, or what it would upgrade to. And lastly, I don’t know if the graphics card can be upgraded at all. any help would be appreciated.

While you can upgrade the RAM iMac Intel 21.5" EMC 3068 RAM Replacement

The CPU may not be replaceable as the low end models have a soldered CPU, the higher end models do have a socketed CPU

Here’s the low end models logic board

There is also no graphics card, its a chip soldered to the logic board. Your only option here is to replace the logic board with a better Radeon Pro 555/560 GPU GPU chip.
