So I was wondering which was better and by how much. The Lenovo y510p SLI http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834313584. Or a custom built desktop coming from pc partpicker (either this one http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3lhxu or this one http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3lheL). Also, how safe is it to transport a desktop because my main problem is that if I was to get the desktop I need to move it (to a whole different house) twice per week. Thanks in advance.

The y510p would be a better choice for you. If you need it because you don't have a stationary gaming system. Get it. Its very good for its price and your situation.
I mean the 760 desktop wins outright in terms of performance but if you have to move it twice a week then its not really worth it? how come you have to move it?
 


I live in a different house for each half of the week and don't have enough $$ to buy 2 desktops.
