    It comes down to personal preference, you can at least get a lot more out of the 675MX from it's relatively low starting point and get it in a similar bracket to the big 2.

    @Meaker, so what would recommend doing to get more performance to a total noob at oc'ing? I've browsed through the other threads pertaining to the subject. My biggest fear is i will void my warranty and not see much performance difference.

    My suggestion is see how it goes, you can open up MSI afterburner and use your default bios limits and add a bit extra if you like, but only look into bios flashing if you need the performance. It's still going to be there once your warranty is up and can be tapped at a later point with a vbios flash to an unlocked one.

    So, i decided to go with the GTX 675mx, after looking over other threads i saw i could overclock it without any big heat or power increase and nearly rivaling the 7970m, while increases battery life and saving a hundred dollars, and more stable drivers, plus i am able to lower the resolution and increase fps, while the 7970m doesn't work for that very well. I have ordered my np9150 and am waiting for the shipping confirmation =)

    Now i am worrying over what SSD and wireless card to buy, once i save up enough money for them.
