Old laptop decisions?

[Klorby]

As all of you may know Black Friday and Cyber Monday is closing in.I am on a low budget and trying to build a decent gaming computer .As an option I have decided to either sell or if possible use old parts of my old HP Pavillion dv6 with beats audio as components of my new build.Not sure if I could salvage anything since it might have integrated parts.Im open to any suggestions that could help.Thanks in advance for the comments.

Nope. the parts wouldn't be compatible. You need to use all brand new parts

Thanks for detail so should I just resort to selling it as a whole or individual parts

The only thing you would be able to take out really is the ram, battery, and hard drive. The rest would require a complete teardown. If you are gaming the best you can do is get a used laptop as any gaming laptop will be 800+. Barebones systems from clevo and MSI are usually a lot more expensive.

I had one of these laptops and trust me, taking them apart sucks balls.

 

You're better off selling it whole, you're likely to break it taking it apart.

Thanks for the heads up.Guess I'll try to sell it and use the money to get myself good gaming video card.
