With that i7 the laptop will do far better.
Or should i just build my own desktop?
Building your own desktop is good, as it allows you to have lots of versatility and allows you to pick and choose for your exact needs. Building your own also could allow you to save quite a bit of money on parts that you otherwise wouldn't be able to buy. It totally depends on your budget, but building will most certainly be able to get you what you want for a better price.
The only thing with building is that if something goes wrong, you're kinda on your own, and you have multiple manufacturers to deal with. With prebuilts or laptops you have 1 company to go through and you have warranties, which is extra padded security. How highly you value that is up to you. If you don't care too much about that, building will probably be the way to go.
