Well, i think your laptop HDD will be a serious bottlekneck on your proposed system as they generaly perform worse than a full fat desktop HDD, also your new build will probably require a full re-installation of your OS, so you may aswell get a new HDD like the SAMSUNG F3 1TB drive, as long as you have your OS licence key then you will be ok to use your current OS on a new system, by the way what OS is it ?

Also i would not bother with that CPU cooler, get an Arctic Freezer PRO instead.

I'm guessing you wanted 3 cd drives?, hard to tell with one long line of links. Anways you can just changed the one I have but I don't see why you would need 3, cds are becoming extinct. You won't need a heatsink as the stock one with this cpu is fine. And 500w is enough for up to a 6950/560.

your laptop wont hdd wont boot if you move it to another Mobo. You'll need an OS. Whnatever MOBO you buy should include all appropriate cables.

Ah ok, well don't forget the promo code on the ram I posted, it makes it a much better buy than what you had.
