    How's it going everyone? So I will be deploying overseas very soon. The wife and I have decided we don't need to spend money on a new gaming laptop just for me to take on a deployment and damage it. So, my current rig is an old G46VW with the 660M and i5 processor. Looking to find out what I can actually upgrade on this rig to give it some extra kick. Not really looking to play console games on my rig but I would like to be able to play higher settings on some of the current Steam titles (Planet Coaster, Civilization IV, etc.). Any input is welcome and thanks for any advice!

    Edit: I realize that I may be able to get a quite noticeable increase to performance by overclocking, but I have never messed around with overclocking.
