    Does the m17x r2 come with second gpu heat sink or do i need to buy one to add second gpu?if so where can i get one? This is turning into an expensive upgrade. I have to also buy 240 w psu in addition to gpu and maybe even heatsink. It might be cheaper to return this laptop and build a new one with second gpu. I called alienware and they dont offer buying the 2 nd gpu independantly.any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
