I actually want to sell my computer with these specs:

Processor: i7-2600k
Motherboard: ASUS sabertooth Z77
Storage: 120GB SSD + HDD Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB
Power Supply: Corsair HX 750W 80 plus Gold
DVD player / recorder ASUS
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D14
RAM: 8GB G.SKILL 1600
Graphics cards:2xGtx 670 gigabyte windforce
Case: Zalman Z11 plus

I want to sell it to buy a laptop and a desktop (buildind the desktop) because I want 2 computers for gaming and mobility.

Laptop specs:

Lenovo Y580

3rd Generation Intel Core i7-3630QM Processor( 2.40GHz 1600MHz 6MB)
Windows 8 64
NVIDIA GeForce GTX660M 2GB
8.0GB PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM 1600 MHz
15.6" HD Glare with integrated camera 1366x768
1TB 5400 rpm
DVD Recordable (Dual Layer)
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200BGN

And for the desktop here's the specs:

Processor: FX-6300
Motherboard: Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Green 750GB
Power Supply: XFX 550W
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1600
Graphics card: XFX Radeon HD 7870 Double D
Case: Bitfenix Merc Alpha

I would like to know if I can get better for the price (since it need to be under 1800$ and I'm canadian)

Please let me know if you have a better idea.

you have a fairly current desktop. the two products you listed are going to be far inferior. also keep in mind that you are going to lose your ass in cash considering you just shelled it out a year or two ago on the system.

what is your concern - mobility? if this is the case then you may be best served by a desktop replacement laptop such as one of the high end asus g75vw. certain models have a ssd and hdd, 670m gpu and 16gb ram and 1080p screen which is about as good as you are going to get for laptop performance. you can carry the laptop with you by day and plug it in to a gaming keyboard, mouse and monitor at night. in this way your loss of performance will be less. you're still going to lose your ass in cash though (since pc part prices go way down every 6 months and even lower if used).

your call, just be well aware of what you are doing before you do it.
