  Okay I can do that. A gaming desktop is only 600 to 800 dollars. But first I'd like to get a laptop that can last and this will take all my money so screw the gaming I guess. So maybe an Ultrabook around 1200 dollars?

  
  
  Last time I looked at desktops they were MORE expensive then laptops. As in 1500 dollars for a desktop as opposed to 1000 dollars for a laptop.
  
  A good desktop that is, not a power button and a fan.
  
  Link?

  Prebuilt? Yes.
  
  
  Building it yourself? Desktops are cheaper.
  
  
  
  ... Can you even self build a laptop?

  If you really have no idea what you're talking about then don't post.
  All you're doing is spreading misinformation.

  Some laptop models have interchangeable parts where you can replace the CPU and GPU ect, and some sites let you customize your desktop.
  But if we're talking about desktop quality building, nope.
