    I just got my m15x 4days ago with i3 and 240m and 3gb ram just the basic setup. I only play wow and COD now and with highest setting it works fine but for diablo 3 in the future is it possible to upgrade the CPU an graphic card. If that possible where should I go get my CPU and graphic card for m15x. Please give me some opinion thanks

    The 280 or 285 I think. I don't believe any of the ATI cards are working properly atm with the m15x. There is speculation that a 5870 will work, but again that's just speculation IMO. but I'd go with a 280 or 285.

    yes very possible to upgrade and also very expensive, maybe cheaper to sell and buy a new system. you can upgrade to any of the i7's and for gpu you can upgrade to 260m or 280m prob more gpu options but those 2 have been proven to work with minimum fuss.
