M17x R4

Grabbed myself a bargain picking up an mint R4 for £300

Has a gtx 660m which is okay for the 900p screen really would of liked the 1080p panal.

I have a few gaming rigs at home and specifically a gtx 680 I'm not using in mint conditional also.

I would like to use the gtx 680 as we all know the laptop GPUs go for lots of money.

Looked at a 7970 which is around £200 second hand here in the UK.

Laptop is used in my bedroom normally on a desk, so GPU could be behind.

I have read you need to remove the wireless card mpci? To fit an adapter

I also have a corsair 500w PSU laying around.

Can somebody point me in the right direction of what adapter I need its very confusing .....

Thanks again

Garry

I don't really want to spend over £200 for a mxm GPU when I have a gtx 680 and PSU sat here ,and port ability isn't a factor as the laptop stays in one place

Thanks
