Rules of PC gaming:

1. Never buy a laptop for gaming. (unless you live in your car or subway/parking bench)
2. Always build it yourself.

Exception: Disregard these rules if you have lots of money.

I'll take that as I should build it then because I don't have lots of money.  Some guy I was talking to in one of my classes had a sager laptop that I think he uses for gaming.   But I think he has decent money because he was talking about a lot of the stuff he has at his house.

With a PC you have less worries. ( No running out of battery, won't break down, etc)

True.  Didn't really think about that. Do you think I could get the same type specs found in the laptop for less/equal/more when building a PC?
