[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 1643600, member: 51635"] Given the cost and the labor, and the -high- chance you'll break something and render the entire experience an expensive failure, you're better off just buying a 2012 15" MBP on like eBay. Mind you, the -absolute best- config you can get has a 2.7Ghz i7 (2nd gen) an a nVidia GT650M with 1GB VRAM. There are only a handful on eBay. Not comfortable linking to eBay but I just found one with an opening bid of $900. that's actually a really good price. These are not gaming machines though. A GT650M is very slow compared to what any typical "gaming laptop" would have. [/QUOTE]
