can see the part list, use export, then chose bbcode and paste.

also it would be better to sell the laptop first incase you might not get the price you want from selling it then plan on a build.
some good combos might come along during that time

Just a real quick look:

1. Windows ?
2. Pls consider an SSD. It's the best thing since sliced bread. I'd go for 240 / 256 GB by Samsung or Crucial
3. CPU cooler u have is great, but the Coolermaster 212 / 212 Evo is more than enough for most folks and will save you a good $50 you could put toward an SSD.

Good Luck !!
