Hi everyone i have a question i may want to upgrade my asus g73jw gaming laptop a bit, what I want to upgrade is the cpu and the graphic card i no i can ad more ram to it but I want to no if i can also upgrade the cpu and the graphic card with more powerfull ones has anyone ever done that ???
From the bit of research I just did for that laptop it sounds like both can be upgraded, but that it isn't necessarily worth it cost wise to do the CPU. I did find a guide on upgrading the GPU which you can find here. As far as the ram goes, unless you're trying to do a bunch of multitasking while gaming, you'll probably be fine with the 8gb it comes with.
The easiest (installation wise) way to get more performance overall would probably be to replace the internal HDD with an SSD, though those can get a little pricey depending on how much space you need: I'm finding 512gb ones for ~$200. If you're able to install one as a second drive (couldn't find any info on that) you could get a smaller one and just run your games & windows off of it for the performance boost.
What price range are you looking at?
I've been looking at the Asus when I was on the market, recommend you some models here http://gaminglaptopunder1000.org/gam...ps-under-1000/
