GTX580M is a powerful GPU and shouldn't have problems handling games...
You might want to check with putochip123 and see whether he has something better to offer yo

Recommended future upgrades include GPU and HDD

Call up Dell MY @ 1800 88 0301 and provide the Service Tag to ask for the status.

As you already have very powerful GPU and CPU, installing SSD to replace your standard HDD seems like the sweetest upgrade available for you

Anyone with the interest of puchasing a 2GB GTX660M GPU? I am upgrading to GTX680M Sli, so it is basically useless to me right now.

both have the same price, the question which one should i buy. help, thnks ;/

(Noob Here)

But I think the former one is much better than the latter.

You sacrifices alittle bit of processors speed but you gain more Disk Space, RAM and most importantly a BETTER GPU!

personally i would get the r4 more room to upgrade later

but the price for upgrading GPU will be sky highhh

yaa lor
if u want better gpu get the r3

but 580gtx okok only wor.. performance higher then 6970 a bit only....

Go to dell website.. take the epp 9% discount..
Upgrade ur gpu to radeon 7970m..
It'll be around that price.

And the rest you could add slowly.....
Since gpu upgrade is kinda exp..
