I'm wanting to get into PC gaming so I'm going to fix up my laptop. I have an Acer Aspire and was wondering what graphic cards would be the best for it. Price does not matter.

I'm not much of a computer guy but if you want to get into PC gaming I dont think the laptop is the best choice.

Laptop
You MIGHT be able to change the GPU on the laptop, but you'll have a hard time finding any store that supplies the correct parts - and even if you can you're not going to be able to safely take the laptop to pieces to replace it.
Your best bet is to either:
Buy a new laptop (which won't play games as well and will cost 1.5-3x as much, maybe more, for the same performance).
Build a computer yourself, which is probably 5-10x easier than trying to replace the graphics card in your laptop.
If you want to game on a computer, don't buy prebuilts. You'll never have a good experience when trying to upgrade them, except for the RAM and HDD (which are easy and don't normally require anything new other than Sata Cables).
Building one is your best bet.

Thanks, I'm just going to build one now.
