I know i'm going to get yelled at for starting this thread, but i really have no idea what i'm doing.

So bought a new latop, 4 gigs of Ram, big hardrive, i just need a decent graphics card that can run Starcraft 2 well. I don't need some $400 thing that will play Crysis on SUPER AMAZING ULTRA...just something pretty good.

Where do i look?

Unless you have a gaming laptop to begin with, there's a 99% chance you can't upgrade the GPU. And even if you could, it would cost ~$500 for a good upgrade.

I don't understand, you can't update your graphics card without updating the GPU either?
