Hello i have HP 2570p Elitebook with i7 3520m.. i added to him stick of 4gb ram( so now i have 8 ram), 500gb ssd, and a 960gtx 2gb using EXP GDC v8.0 adapter with a 430W Seasonic S12 PSU..
my performance is pretty amazing, the gpu that i added increasred the performance by far, almost doubled the fps.
right now im playying only csgo (the pc sits on Dock station connected to a 24'' 144hz monitor, mouse and keyboard..)
i want to upgrade my pc, and im not sure if should i buy a motherboard, cpu, ram and combine the PSU, SSD and GPU that i already have, or just upgrade the laptop cpu..(?)
i dont need massive performance, and i heard about i7 3740QM that might be the best option for me and can sit properly in the socket im using.. but what about the heat and stuff.. will it be possible?
im sure that the replacing the cpu in my laptop wont be a problem to me, but will it work?

btw how about buying it from here:
