Advice needed on buying/building a PC

In my personal experience, it's better to invest into a great desktop, then invest into a decent laptop. Once you make the initial investment of the laptop, all you really have to do is update the graphics card, which is only 300-400 dollars depending on the quality, if you're really anal about keeping up on the front line, you could sell the previous card for probably half to 2/3's of the new card. By that strategy you'd have a top of the line desktop with a average to top of the line laptop in a 3-5 year time line.

I personally started with a laptop, ended up getting a desk, then replaced my old laptop with an up to date cheapy, which I'm still using, but I plan on getting a new graphics card/laptop by next october, a long with a custom made iron man suit but that's another story for another time
