I am going to buy a computer soon and am deciding on building my own desktop or buying an asus g750jw-db71 laptop. The desktop could be a better option but I need to do school work too so I may need to take my pc to other places.

I was just wondering what the performance difference would be between these two computers.

Here's my part list if I do build a desktop

About $1400. I've tried having a look at other sites but I can't find one that has the asus rog g750jw for sale,
Do you know what website has these and has low shipping here
 


AUD exchange rate dropped against USD. Also, the 5% custom duty and 10% GST will cancel the cost benefit of buying overseas.
