hey guys, im pretty tech savvy and know how to handle myself around computers and upgrades and overclocking and things in general. i want to put an 880m gpu i got from an msi GT60 into my m15x. so, what do i need to know? is this plug & play? (im guessing not) drivers, will they work? (im ok with modding but any help/details would be appreciated) power supply? (i can get the m17x 240w if i need) fan control? (will it work automatically, etc.) anything else i am not thinking of? any and all help is super appreciated, ty!!!!

Asus G53SX DH71 Intel Core i7 2670QM 2 20GHz 15 6" 16GB Memory DDR3 500GB HDD | eBay VS Asus G73SW 17 3" Notebook NVIDIA GTX 460M as Is But Working No Returns | eBay those are completed auctions, but i have seen a bunch going at/around those prices. portability is not much of an issue, i just dont have enough space for a desktop system. i just want whichever will give me a better gaming experience. do you feel that having a smaller screen is worth it for slightly more gpu power? thanks again!

i have low moneyz, and my trusty old hp8710p that i had somehow manipulated into playing l4d2 actually had a meltdown. (yep. not kidding. nvs quadro 320m overheated into oblivion) anyways, just wondering, if i want to run games well (i dont need everything on highest settings, haven't been playing games that way for years anyways.) but also want the max enjoyment i can get in this price range ($600-$700), what do the people recommend as being more important for the gaming experience - screen size, or slightly better specs? the 17.3" g73sw and the 15.6" (i forget exact model) can both be found used for around $600-$700 so i guess i have two questions; A) is it worth the price point for what i am getting in 2013, go for more screen, or more performance? based on my lack of knowledge and basic research skills, it *seems* to me that it is worth it and i should go for more screen real estate, but i wanted to hear from the experts, so thank you!
