    Hello! I'm sorry if I am posting this in the incorrect section as I am new to this site, anyway I am looking to upgrade my alienware m17x r3 as the specs of laptop are a bit low, I just need some help on what graphics card anyone would recommend or anything that will let me run games a lot better then the laptop is currently now.

    My Specs :

    Windows 8 Pro 64 bit
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00 GHz (8CPUs), ~2.0GHz
    Memory 6GB
    Graphics Card : Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000

    As you can see the GHz is only clocked at around 2.00 which is pretty low and the graphics card is also not a "Gaming" Card, which can not handle games well :( .
    If anyone can help me just figure out what to do to upgrade this computer, I would thank you greatly!

    Thanks for reading!
