Hypothetically, if I wanted to make this laptop a project (and money wasn't an issue), what is the best combination of motherboard, cpu, wifi card, and graphics card that I could run on this computer? also, what other hardware would need to be upgraded?

@MrGainz, welcome back to the forum.

 

Unfortunately, the age of your notebook makes it less upgradeable since the components have changed so much.  Also, HP didn't give much information on the components that can be upgraded.  Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide that will give you all of the information that is available.
