    I had it for almost 11months now, brand new back then.

    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 740 @ 1.73GHz
    Memory: (RAM) 8.00 GB
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M

    I use my computer for a lot of things but mostly games like starcraft II. Main reason why I bought it in the 1st place because of sc2.
    But looking back now and reading in the fourms. I feel I got ripped off from dell haha. It's too late now and still have 1 more year warranty starting October.
    Live in Canada. With a budget of no more than 600$ CND. What should I upgrade? and where to look for the parts now that dell doesn't carry m15x. :(

    Haha well if you are a very persuasive person, then you may be able to wriggle a 6970m out of them. Or you could ask pkhetan, he's a parts dealer on this forum and has pretty decent prices. With your left over money, you could get a SSD or a i7 920XM.
