yes you can. www.newegg.com is a good place to buy parts, however you need to make sure that you get matching components (ie, graphics card doesnt mate up with the mother board, etc) a lot of companies have been adding the option online to custom build your own pc/laptop, but its usually overall more expensive and less powerful than a full custom build from a dedicated site.

you can check out

www.ibuypower.com
or
www.buyxg.com and custom build your own laptop/desktop
