Hello everyone!

In November I purchased a Lenovo Y510p gaming laptop. This is my first experiencs with computer gaming, aside from occasionally playing TF2 or CS on my plain old desktop I had. How long should I wait to upgrade to a desktop? Although I don't know much about computers, I plan reading a lot of the guides out there and building my own PC. I will list the specs of my Lenovo below:

Intel Core i7-4700MQ Processor 2.4GHz
Microsoft Windows 8
8GB DDR3-1600 RAM
1TB 5,400RPM Hard Drive
Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M

So in your opinion(s), when should I upgrade? It's doing what I need it for currently so not in a huge rush. Thanks!

That is basically your choice, a gaming desktop on 23-4" 1080P monitor is more visually pleasing than running on a small laptop.

why not essentially have both? get a nice monitor, like an Asus 24" 2ms 1080p... plus a real keyboard and mouse, and use your laptop as a 'desktop'
