I think you can disable Intel HD graphics first and juts put the card into as long as you have the suitable steady and heat sink for HD8970M.
As long as I know GTX660M have graphic memory on only one side, but HD8970M with 4GB have graphic memory on both sides so you may need some additional silicone pad.
Also remember to remove all nVidia drivers.
msata SSD doubt
in Alienware M17x / AW 17

There is a strange port called mini-PCI-Express which look exactly like mSATA.
Some laptops have that kind of port but M17xR4 does not. For some laptops you can use that port either as a mSATA or a mini-PCI-Express, for some laptops you can only use it as a mini-PCI-Express.
For M17xR4 it is a ordinary mSATA port with SATAII speed (yes with SATAII speed). So personally I don't think put a SSD there is a good idea.
