dont get a Pentium, they are becoming one of Intels older worse proccesors. shell out some money and at least get an i3 of some kind

also that GPU is amazing for sort of a low end system.

Is this better? Most likely going to have to get the parts after xmas  

Thanks

Ok, going to pull the trigger, should I buy all of the parts off of new egg? Still want to get the laptop b/c I don't want to break anything putting the computer together...But understanding how much more performance the desktop has makes the laptop not even an otion.

A $500 desktop will be 3 times as powerful as a similarly priced laptop easily, for gaming.
