Im gonna post some specs... one is for laptop the other is for PC. and I wanna know which of the two is better (most likely gonna be PC), how MUCH better it is than the other, and is the gap in performance (i,e being better) high enough to warrant paying an additional $800 (it would be $600 but the shipping is nearly 200 on the desktop whereas laptop shipping is free( for. (i.e "The PC is better but that "better" is only good enough for a $200 extra investment its not good enough to justify spending an additional $800" is the kinda answer Im looking for in that third part):
Desktop:
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GDDR5X
MSI X299 Raider(Intel X299 Chipset) (ATX Form Factor, 8 DIMMS, 5 PCIe Slots + 2 M.2 SSD Slots)
Intel® Core™ X-series Skylake i7-7800X ( 8.25M Cache, 3.50 GHz - 4.00 GHz, 6 core | 12 Thread ) Processor
EVGA 600W Power Supply Unit
32GB DDR4 2666MHz (4x8GB) G.SKILL RipJaws V Quad Channel
2x 2TB SSHD Seagate FireCuda Gaming Hybrid Drive
ASUS PCE-AC68 Dual-band PCI-E Wireless-AC1900 Wireless Adapter
USB Bluetooth Adapter
and misellaneous coolings stuff like:
Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Paste- GPU & CPU
Closed Loop ICE Cooling System for CPU [360mm Radiator]
Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition (11 Fans)
Noise Suppression Package (Stage 2) (Optimized Airflow & Fan Speeds with Noise Reduction Material)
(which would those specs really require that level or cooling or is that overdoing it?)
Laptop:
17.3" Full HD 144Hz, Wide View Angle 72% NTSC Matte Display with G-SYNC Technology (1920 x 1080) (which doesn t really matter because itll be hooked to my 43'' 4k hdtv screen being use like a desktop 80% of the time)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GPU with 8GB GDDR5X Video Memory
Limited Edition Intel® Core™ i7-8086K Processor ( 6 Cores, 12MB Smart Cache, 4.00GHz Base / 5.00GHz Max )
32GB Dual Channel DDR4 SDRAM at 3000MHz - 2 X 16GB
2x 2TB FireCuda SSHD Drive
Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 9260 M.2 AC Wireless LAN + Bluetooth Module
USB Bluetooth Adapter
Cooling:
Notebook Cooler
IC Diamond Thermal Compound - CPU + GPU
Extra Cooling Copper Heatsinks Applied to the Heatsink/Heatpipes
So basically performance/speed/gaming wise which is better, how MUCH better is it than the other (20%, 30% etc etc), and is that extra performance from the better one high/good enough to justify an extra $800 (if not how much extra SHOULD it cost) or is the difference so incremental that the laptop would be a better choice because the difference is so small that the lower priced item would be the better bet?
