Hello! I want to replace the video card for my Alienware 14 r2, gt650m currently using, or may be changed to one (860m) news?
 
Solution
I haven't looked up a teardown of that particular model, bu the odds are that the graphics chip(s) are soldered to the motherboard and cannot be replaced.

I have one of these, the GPU is soldered on the board (I've totally disassembled mine in the past). There is no way to replace the GPU and there is no available replacement motherboard, the newer Alienware 14 board is a totally different shape. The CPU is replaceable, but if you have a quad-core i7 of any kind there is little reason to upgrade it.
