What is this worth?

So in the last two years I was very excited and watched every LTT video about PC building. So I was on a mission to build the best PC I can make.

 

These are my specs:-

 

CPU-i7 4790K @stock with stock cooler

Mobo-Gigabyte Z97 D3H

RAM-G.Skill RipJawsX 4GBX2 Dual Channel @1600Mhz

PSU-Seasonic SII2 620 Bronze 80+

HDD-2TB Seagate Barracuda

CF-3 X CM SickleFlow X(Blue) + 1 Stock Intake

Monitor-Acer GR235H

 

GPU,SSD to buy soon.

My main intention was gaming,programming and video editing.

 

Sadly, I ran out of money(my dad :P ) before I could buy the GPU and SSD and they both remained 'buy soon' till now. I asked my parents if I could get a GPU now and they said they aren't going to spend any more money on my computer(They're a lil tech-hating). There are still 2 years left before I can get a proper job after my engineering.

 

So basically it's been one year now and I realized that I build a ferrari but it cannot go above 40MPH.

 

Maybe get a mid range laptop instead.(i7 4720HQ, GTX 950M). What do you think guys am I making the right decision?

 

What money can I expect for the parts above?[except the monitor]

HP 15-BA021AX - 2.3GHz AMD A10-9600P processor - 4GB DDR4 RAM - 1TB 5400rpm Serial ATA hard drive - 15.6-inch screen, AMD Radeon R7 M440 2GB Graphics - Windows 10

Hmmm? There are multiple revisions - some with i5 4200Hs, other with different i7s - make sure you get a 1080p IPS panel WITHOUT Touch - that's all you need to know :)
