I don't mean to be rude but I can't make sense of what you've said.

I'll try my best!

If you're upgrading memory and hard drive then that won't affect graphics. You also don't need to worry about power supply etc since there will be barely any difference.

12GB of RAM is a funny number - how many slots does it have, and what memory is in there just now? And a drive that spins at 7,200 revolutions per minute is not a solid state drive....

Upgrading your ram or hdd will not effect your grapics.

As The Halk has already stated.

750GB 7200RPM Solid State?

Didn't realise solid state span round?

Don't get fooled by the marketing spiel of the Momentus XT Hybrid (assuming this is what you mean), they aren't anywhere near the performance of an SSD, infact I could barely see a difference between a 500GB Momentus and a 500GB Momentus XT.

Going by product details, it has 4GB RAM as standard, so dont think it will take 12GB RAM, most likley it will take a max of 8GB RAM.

And others have said, the 750GB 7200RPM is not an SSD

I've got a 500GB Momentus XT for Steam games that aren't on my SSD, and I'm reasonably impressed with it for that function... I expect it'd do ok in a laptop... but a proper SSD would be miles better.

I bought it to be a direct replacement for the 500GB Momentus in my Dell XPS 15z, it made almost zero difference.

Just going to plump for a 256GB SSD instead.

I've felt that I maybe got the benefit from the XT because when I use it for Steam games it's doing the same stuff all the time. I tend to play the same game for a while until I get bored with it, and I'd imagine since it's not an OS drive it's really suitable for caching.
