    Hello all, so far i upgraded my stock hard drive to a 1TB HGST 7200rpm 32MB Cache SATA drive and I love it have tons of more space than the stock 500GB. I researched and found out that my pc will be able to support 8GB of RAM than the stock 4GB, Is this true? Would i be looking for 1600mhz sticks or the 1333MHZ ?Also i seen that we can upgrade to i7 720QM but is it really worth it? any advice buying Used VS new CPU's? I currently use this computer to edit photos(photoshop and all), videos, 3ds max and design homes using other 3d software. Any help?

    As far as the ram goes, I've been able to go up to 8GB with GSkill 1333Mhz.
