This is my new build going all out because I wanted an ASUS G750JX-DB71 17.3-Inch Laptop (Black) Price: $1,784.50 so debating on which one to buy , I want to play battle field 3 an 4 as well as call of duty and World of Tanks. Also have about 500 gb movies and music on external hard drives... an with desktop I still might need good monitor I only got an old Acer monitor with one vga cord would that be enough. (an side question what r some good desktop cases that have great cooling? ) and do I need 750w psu an is everything compatible

ASUS G750JX-DB71 17.3-Inch Laptop or build my desktop??

Unless your doing movie rendering or professional photo editing, then grab a Core i5 4670K because current games don't use more than 4 cores.
The setup doe not have a hard drive, add a hard drive to your config. WD blue 1TB is a good choice.
Latest OS is Windows 8.1.
Get a better power supply, don't get cheap when picking a power supply
What is your budget? Do you need keyboard, monitor, and mouse?

I had a nice discussion over using i5 4670k or i7 4770k most said because I have budget an for future proofing, it will be optimal for battle field 4 as well :) and im defiantly going to get better psu its cheapest thing on my list lol something like 750w ? an would the Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk work as hard drive if not I have old 320 gb spinning hard drive from old acer computer an plenty of external hard drives.
and im getting r.a.t. 7 wired mouse. need monitor though whats some good ones roughly :) and budget is $1800 bc that's price of laptop I was going to get before looking into building
