You could also go outside the box. You could pick up a nvidia shieldtv for 200.00 and it will allow you to play most steam games via streaming. You could broadcast via twitch (this is built in functionality on shieldtv) or you could capture the video to a file, export, and edit it on your laptop. This is something you could do for hundreds less than buying a pc and it typically works very well.

a laptop could never give you the long gaming hours and proper cooling a gaming pc can.
