I'm getting a new graphics card what do you think?

I have no idea about mobile cards though. Personally I run a duel core laptop with an old as hell AMD Radeon, and I then OC it through the freak'n roof! It played SRTT on medium to high settings....which is amazing since it barely played it on lowest settings un OC'd.

So far, my Alienware M14x with a "GeForce GT 555M 3GB DDR3" graphics card can play SRIV on "Ultra" setting. Though, I want to try it on GTAV. Which I'll have to wait for PC release, hoping it to be released ASAP. I've noticed that there are new Alienware laptops release, Alienware 14 with a "GeForce GTX 765M 2GB GDDR5" and Alienware 18 with a "GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5 - NVIDIA SLI Enabled".
Also, I have no idea what are those "DDR" or "GDDR" means. Anyone?
 
DDR is standard memory/ram like DDR 3, and GDDR is specifically graphics memory. GDDR 5 is used in a lot of modern GPU's like my GTX 660.
 
That's basically true but GT _50's are usually pretty good budget gaming cards. GT 450 was excellent, and still can get the job done for pretty damn cheap. However, it's certainly a safe bet to error on the side of GTX. The GTX ti releases are generally legendary. GTX 550 ti, and the GTX 650 ti boost.

My other machine that does TV duty currently has a GTX 650Ti in it, I let the 670 and 660 handle the gaming.

You don't need both of those! Can I have the 670?
 
Yes, I do need both of them. The 670 is the primary card and the 660 is the physx card that also runs the second monitor.
Oh, well la dee da! Hahaha, I'm just kid'n. I have an FX 8350 cpu, and now I want the FX9590 so bad......5 ghz! However, I'm probably just gonna buy a new mother board with a liquad cooler and OC my 8350 to 4.8 or 5 if I'm lucky. Currently running at 4.4 without problems. If I go over that my crappy mobo can't supply enough juice.....that's what I get for getting cheap when it came to the motherboard.

No way you are managing to get that at an playable framerate. According to notbookcheck my GTX780M will play SR IV at ultra at only 52 FPS (although I think that's incorrect, that's way too low), let alone your GT555M. Although I bet if I overclock this thing a little bit I will get a rocksteady 60FPS. But, since I don't own the game, I can't test it out.

So far mine is playable, I don't feel any lagging. If your graphics card is "GTX 780M", I'm pretty sure it'll be flawless. Don't trust those kind of websites too much, they probably tested different settings on their laptop. Also, always keep your driver updated that's for sure.

Oh trust me, I always keep my drivers up to date.

Here's the proof:
I don't know how to use YouTube, hence the video quality is bad (after I've finish uploaded, I got a stupid message from YouTube saying "my video is shaky and if I want to fix it" crap). But my original video file have good quality playback, anyway in the video I got show my game settings.
