Alienware x51 R2 graphics card
Okay so I'm really new to the who pc gaming and pc things in general, I bought the x51 r2 (specs) Intel Core i7-4790 processor
4.0GHz, 8MB Cache
8GB DDR3 SDRAM system memory (expandable to 16GB)
Gives you the power to handle most power-hungry applications and tons of multimedia work
1TB SATA hard drive
Slot-loading dual-layer DVD Burner
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745
With 4GB DDR3 of memory
But I want to upgrade my graphics card to a gtx 960 (I have low budget atm) Is it possible? If so can I get a run down, like I said I'm new to all this.

It's pretty easy to remove and insert a GPU in the X51, but you'll need a screwdriver. The PSU is an external one, so that's plug-and-play.
I wouldn't take it to geek squad. The process should take 20 minutes max if you take things slowly.

It's possible, but you'll need the 330w PSU first.

Only the one that works on Alienware laptops and the X51.
