Alienware 17 upgrade

[max benedek]

Hi, I have an Alienware 17 which I bought 2 years ago, I want to upgrade it but I just need a little help since I'm not much of a techy person 😛

Specs
CPU: i7 4710mq (Socket: FCPGA946)
GPU: r9 m290x
RAM: 16 gb

I want to upgrade both my GPU and CPU, I'm having alot of trouble searching for legit sites with the LATEST mobile CPU and GPU's, anyway, is there anyway this upgrade can be possible?

To be honest your ram is fine. 16 gbs is more than enough for gaming, which is what i'll assume you're doing since you have a gaming laptop lol, and the cpu isn't that bad but you could upgrade to a newer i7. (it would cost quite a bit though and you would have to make sure your motherboard would support it) As for a graphics card, it's not too bad but also not too good. It would be hard to replace a laptop graphics card though as it is made with just enough space to fit it and cool it. replacing a laptop graphics card is pretty damn hard but if you manage to find someone who can do it (or be willing o do it yourself) I would suggest a 1060 3 or 6 gb laptop card. My honest suggestion would be to buy a new pc if you really want to upgrade. Although that laptop is not bad.
