It's possible but it's closer to buying a laptop without a cpu and drives than actually building a laptop.
In my opinion your better off buying it complete.

Very possible--NOT practical.
Dell's are very good and affordable laptops.
Lenovo's for top quality
Acer is also making some nice affordable units.

I've build several for customers, contrary to my suggestions to purchase a prebuilt, but it is not cost effective.
Parts are not as available in the retail market and they are very difficult, for the novice, to assemble.
