This.
Not to mention that (again, generally speaking) gaming laptops have incredibly shitty battery life (even when not playing games) and run really hot.
You'll have to leave your laptop plugged in all the time, so since it won't be moving much there's really no reason NOT to get a desktop.
Not to mention that desktops last longer and are easier to upgrade.
