Hey, so I purchased a prebuilt ASUS ROG desktop because it was cheaper than building it with the parts myself. However, the cooling is bad so I want to move it to a new case. Is it possible to move parts from a prebuilt PC into a new desktop? BTW, another thing I've noticed is that the RAM is laptop sized, not desktop sized :/ 

 

The exact desktop I bought is :

Please Help ! Thank you!

Not much you can do easily. Honestly it is probably not that big of a deal if the cooling isn't great. It may thermal throttle a little bit but you should still get good gaming performance.
