Hey Guys!
Like realizing one is old, I realized recently that my awesome computer is not as awesome as I liked to believe. I bought my ASUS G75VW back in November of 2012, and left it pretty much the same as it came, save for moving the OS (Win 7 x64) to a 180GB SSD. I never added any RAM or anything, since all my gaming needs were covered.
Then Witcher 3: Wild Hunt went on sale in Steam, and after finding a very large chunk on my SSD to accompany the file size, I played away as best I could. Sadly, for such a powerful game, not even the low graphics setting is enough to stop the lag between frames. I feel I am being robbed of my gaming experience again, but I don't think I need to buy a new computer. Thinking of adding some RAM to it since it can hold more, but above all, I am considering replacing the graphics card.
Any suggestions on what I should do/get, or perhaps some tips to someone who has not tampered much with the physical components of a computer? I always love the support of this forum, so I look forward to your responses. Thanks!
Ethan
EDIT: Perhaps I should include some stats:

My graphics card is an Nvidia GTX 660M.
