Help Laptop-Desktop VS Desktop

[JoSchaap]

you either spend a shitload of money on a high range gaming laptop.
or spend half on an equally good gaming desktop and keep money for future upgrades

A gaming laptop is possible. Just put it in a dockingstation when you are gaming at home. Good ones offer several screen outputs and decent usb hubs and cooling pads.

And it charges your laptop and makes your life much more comfortable.

Guys, guys, guys...
Just to clear things up...
I am not and I will never be a professional gamer.
I just want a laptop(or desktop ofc) that will run games like crysis 2 on very high settings. I don't need a rocket-fast pc capable of video editing, gaming is only a hobby that I have!
So, let's start this over, shall we?
So mid-to-high gaming laptop recommendations it is

get i5 2500k . Ati HD 6950 2gb (or 1 recommend u 2gb to Oc to 6970) 8 ddr3 ram enought with 500 W psu . and a good HDD
that enought not expensive and good for gaming
that a good pc u will not have problems with new games . and if u are searching something cheaper i dont think it will be worth. to upgrade to a old processor like core 2 quad and those old things.
the 2500k its pretty good and not expensive at all for that performarce , and dont ask for amd that crap.u cant compare any amd to 2500k

well that was my recommendation :p
and i think laptop will be a bit more expensive. it usually does if ure going 4 a laptop get a i7 :p but think its much more comfortable to play on a desktop

but is 6950 equal to the performance of gtx570 or 7870?
and what if i get a 750 watt psu?
AND ALSO VERY IMPORTANT--> motherboard? h77 or z68?

ye u can get a 750 just get a 80 plus psu.
the 7870 is only about 25% faster then a 6950 so i will go for the 570 or the 6950 2gb.and the 6970 is equal to the gtx 570.
'and the mobo i would take the z68 good overclocking features . (asus)
