I want to upgrade my laptop but besides the RAM, I don't know which parts I can get.

 

I'm looking to upgrade to SSD, I also want to upgrade my processor and discrete graphics card (I read the manual, it says there's an option to upgrade into the AMD Radeon HD 7670M but I don't know if my laptop is compatible)

If it's possible, I'd like to upgrade my CPU cooler, the fan doesn't do its job properly at all, hitting 80 degrees temperature isn't uncommon.

Here's the Service manual:

 

Manual

 

CPU can be upgraded to i7-3612QM or any other Intel Core processor on p. 17 of the Manual. Video is part of the motherboard so to upgrade that, you need a whole new motherboard. Heatsink and fan are also listed on p. 17. There is only one option. If you have to take it apart to replace the CPU you will have a chance to apply new cooling compound and clean up inside which will likely fix the heating issues but there is no upgraded fan available. 

 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Every possible motherboard you can use is listed in the Manual. That is an exclusive list.
