    I'm looking to update my G73SW's gpu, and I need help.

    From the studies I have done I have identified the main points that have to be made, they are:

    1) Replace the heatsink with one of the G73JH's gpu which are MXM standards
    2) Switch 150w power supply to one of ASUS 230w
    3) Update the bios for a new version of an asus notebook (With the same updated gpu)
    4) Exchange all CPU and GPU thermal pasta
    5) Force the new GPU driver update

    I wonder if there would be anything else that should be done, and you advise upgrading to which GPU? (I want to upgrade to the best possible GPU)
