laptop rebuilding suggestions?? please

[4skate2life0]

Hi, Ive been a pc gamer all my life, but I never quite had the money to get a good computer. Well finally I have some spare money (approx. $450 give or take) and I want to hopefully upgrade my laptop for gaming. I dont want "the best thing ever" I just want good enough for games like Skyrim, WOW, and other hd games. I currently have an HP Paviliion dv6-6118nr. I have no clue what the "specs" or current parts are, but i have built multiple pc's before and i know the parts i just am HORRIBLE names. I would really love it if i could get some help or be pointed somewhere that i can. thanks!!

From a gaming point of view, not much you can do with this laptop, if you have a 64 bit OS, maybe add memory. You'd need to check w/ HP *if* the processor can be upgraded, OEMs (HP, DELL etc) bios's usually limit CPU changes, graphics is NOT up-gradable.

Save up a little longer and buy a new laptop or, even better, build a desktop.
