Alienware M17x R4 Graphic Card upgrade help
Hey,
So I've been wondering if I'm able to upgrade the Alienware M17x R4 from a Nvidia 660 to possibly a 680 or the Radeon 7970 ( Whichever is cheaper). I tried Dell 24/7 Chat but their not exactly helpful.
So I wanna know how much these upgrades are, if I have to do it myself and if I need extras alongside the graphics card ( Heat sink, thermal paste, etc)
I really want to enjoy my M17 to the fullest so I really want to up my graphics from the 660.

Dear ..
I have an M17x - R4 and would like to upgrade the Graphic card, I have found an Nvidia GTX 980M on ebay and was wondering if that should be fine with my machine, currently I have GTX 680 -2GB installed.
Can I purchase this part directly from Dell in Dubai - UAE ?
Thanks
here is the link to ebay part: www.ebay.com/.../111564997170
