Hey guys,

I want to know what my upgrade options are for my laptop. Specifically, I want to know if it's worth while upgrading my CPU and GPU. For the most part, my laptop handles everything I throw at it; however I fear with some of the newer games coming out it might start to slack off a bit. For example; I currently play the DayZ alpha and it lags like a b!tch. The same thing happens with Company of Heroes 2. I have already upgraded to 8gb of ram (I don't think I can put more in there - correct me if I'm wrong) but would it be possible to put an i5 or 17 in there or a better GPU? I also want to be able to run three monitors. Is that possible with my current build, or do I need upgrades?

Thanks heaps.

So no one seems able to provided a reply. Is there a better forum I should be posting this question in? Or do I need to post some more details?
