    Hey guys,

    I have a alienware m17xR3 with the AMD Radeon HD 6870M. First I gotta say I love this laptop so much. I'm looking to do a few things to it. First, a 3D panel upgrade. I managed to source one for 200 and it was the entire assembly wont install until I get a new video card. Second, im going to upgrade to a blu-ray player. I've done my searching and theres no questions with those first 2 upgardes pretty straightforward. With those 2 upgrades in mind which video card should I go with?
    I was seeing some problems about the NVidia cards. Just trying to figure out which card would be the best to support blu-ray and 3d.
    Processor- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @2.00GHz 2.00GHz.
    thanks in advance,
    josh
