Just bought a Alienware 17" R3, and although it had all the specs I needed, it was missing a SSD option and 16 gigs of ram, which is what I was striving for on top of a 6700 i7 and 970m gtx.

My questions are:

How easy is it to access and swap the RAM on this laptop, and does it have 4 slots? Like two under the keyboard and two accessible from taking the bottom off. Same question for putting a SSD in with the existing 1 TB drive.

Lastly, where can I find the compatible ddr4 ram and compatible laptop SSD?
