I currently own a sager np8130 Core i7-2630QM, 8GB DDR3-1333hz RAM, NVIDIA GTX 460M Graphics Card, 500GB 5900 RPM HDD, Intel Advanced-N 6230 Wireless Card, Stock 1080p matte screen. I been wondering if i can upgrade to a 765m or 770m.

if its an MXM 3b card, then yes, technically you can. I own a 9280 and have considered this myself, however, the tricky part is the heatsink... you may need to modify (sand or file) parts of it to fit the layout of the new card... I've seen this done with my 280M upgraded to a 680M
