I have a prebuilt HP, and it has served me very well. It plays games at medium settings at 1080p after I upgraded the gpu.

Anyways, I was wondering if I can use some parts from it if I were to build a pc. For example, the RAM, the fan(s), and the disc drive. Also, can I use the hard drive if there is a way to completely wipe it of everything?

I am most curious about the HD and the RAM, as they are the most expensive out of those parts!

So, can I?

You can definitely reuse older parts from your HP. Like Pctech mentioned, you just need to watch out for compatibility, which can be solved easily with a quick Google search! :)
