Hei. I am pretty sure it is possible to upgrade to both. I have already managed to upgrade to 680m and 770m on my g73sw. However there is hestink and video bios modifications needed. Does both cpu and gpu have dedicated heatsinks?

I know about this guy Muratus. He has upgraded his g73sw With 560m gpu from g53sx but did not heard of anyone that has upgraded g53sx to anything better. However I used gpu heatsink from older g73jh to upgrade my gpu's so if that heatsink can not fit inside g53sx properly thing can get complicated very fast.

You mean to modify it to match ordinary MXM gpu's with original heatsink? If so I cant believe that it is possible as asus gpu layout is to difering from MXM standard. As for upgrading to asus 770m or 780m is very difficult as it is not possible to find those and if one can buy them price is atleast 2 times higher.

No, the socket design that ASUS uses is custom, as is the heatsink design. You could modify the heatsink potentially, but definitely not the socket design.
