    Hello guys!
    I have an alienware M18x R2 that i bought 3 years ago.
    My dedicated GPU has been dead for a little over a year now.
    I am looking to buy a replacement/an upgrade.

    Where can i buy those?
    I called dell and they said that they don't sell parts and that i need to find an independent seller.

    Does anyone have an experience with a trusted seller?
    What card model do you recommend?

    Thank you!

    I have a spare set of GTX 680Ms that are factory for the M18x R2 for sale in the classified section. The GTX 780M, 880M, and 980M will also work, you can look here in the classified section or on ebay.
