I'm a desktop gamer considering making the leap to laptop gaming. It's a hard leap for me, but I'm tired of lugging around $3500 of full size tower to LAN events and whatnot. This would be a complete replacement of my desktop gaming PC and I'd like something very, very close to that performance and am willing to pay for it.

I'm debating getting a small screen and just using an external monitor since they're relatively easy to move about.

Thanks in advance!

Your laptop will not be as good as your desktop period. My advice is as follows
for your $3.5k
2k
http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152359

and still have a 1.5k desktop that will blow the laptop out of the water. because the laptops have heating issues and sli laptops will have more heating issues.

If you want a 3.5k laptop then my advice is go with alienware or origin.

Or build your next pc in this

Not sure if I would go that route bud. $3500 laptop is like $1500 desktop dude. And since you don't want it for mobility since it'll be plugged in almost all the time, seems like you are using it as a desktop. My advice would be spend it on a desktop and quit whining about carrying it especially when you've got that extra cash lying around. It's not a big deal and the laptop will be crap compared to the desktop, and hopefully you would know that by now.
