    Any ideas on what is worth upgrading?

    I am sending my laptop in for a fix and since I'm sending it in I thought if I should upgrade any parts.
    It's the Phoenix program through mythlogic!

    My pc is
    I7 3720qm
    16ddr3 ram
    Gtx 4gb 680m
    128 MSata.
    750 hdd

    That looks like a pretty good computer, top end for just a few months ago. Of course the new generation is out now. But I don't the gains would be worth the money.

    Do you have any concerns?

    Looks fine! But I'll suggest some little upgrades if you've got cash to blow :p Least expensive upgrade: Mythlogic has a 1TB 7200 HDD, A little OS breathing room: 256GB Plextor M5M mSATA or wait for the 480GB Crucial M500 mSATA. Myth has the Samsung PM841 512GB mSATA but it's TLC NAND So, the others would be preferred. And more RAM wouldn't hurt if you have the OS (Widows 7 Pro, Ult or 8).

    Disagre on RAM cuz 16GB is more than enough. But if u have money to spare I would suggest replacing the mSata with a bigger one, or an SSD
