Moving prebuilt pc parts

[Mackan_G31]

Am i able to move CPU, HDD, GPU, Ram, CPU cooler from my Lenovo Erazer x310 to a new motherboard and case?

Yes you can. I did it too with a medion/lenovo PC. Make sure to reapply your thermal paste and optionally buy a new CPU cooler because medion's/lenovo is shit

Do you know any cheap CPU coolers?

thx for the answer by the way

Yeah, usually the case and motherboard are the only parts in prebuilts that can be 'weird' as in non-standard. 

And I don't really know enough about CPU cooler to recommend something.. I could go the easy way and say "Hyper 212 EVO", but I honestly dont know how good it really is

just make sure that the new mobo that you are buying is compatible with your current processor

Just check that the PSU doesn't have any weird proprietary power connectors, some pre-builts  do. If it does you may need a new PSU, though I'd recommend a new one anyway as they are normally pretty crap.

Just be careful as it might have a custom backplate on the mobo for their cooler which is stuck on with adhesive and is very difficult/tedious to remove.

Yeah but you have to remove it of the motherboard and you need to use heat and a thin piece of plastic/metal to get it off otherwise you will not be able to install  a new cooler.
