So I have chosen a desktop I want.

Operating systemGenuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

ProcessorAMD Phenom(TM) X4 955 quad-core processor [3.2GHz, 2MB L2 + 6MB L3 shared, up to 4000MHz]

Memory8GB DDR3-1066MHz SDRAM [4 DIMMs]

Hard drive750GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive

Graphics card1GB ATI Radeon HD 5570 [DVI, HDMI, DP,VGA adapter]

Primary optical driveLightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive

You can find the page here.

So can the desktop run newer or more advanced games like Crysis on high? Will I need to uprgrade soon? Is it worth the price?

But I still might get a laptop. You can find it here.

So will this be able to run games like Crysis or other advanced games on high(ish) settings, or should I stick with the Desktop?

I prefer having a laptop, but I just want to know wether it being more expensive, but less advanced is worth it.

Your links don't work, but the laptop would be better because it has a much better video card.

You do realize though that you will have to have the laptop plugged in, effectively making it a desktop, when you game right?

But I wasn't sure because the proccesseror of the Laptop isn't very good compared to the desktop.

I didn't know which one was more important than the other.

No, the desktop's CPU is a quad core, while the laptop is a dual core. Though the GPU in the desktop isn't going to play any game on high setting, unless it is an older title. Your probably not even going to be able to play games on medium settings, most likely a mixture of low and medium.

The laptop on the other hand has enough GPU power to play games on high settings.

This laptop isnt out yet, but is a 15incher, and will give good performance.

I don't know the price of the HP laptop u were looking at, but I'm confident this is cheaper at $1100. Considering it has a res of 1680x1050, which is far better than the HP's and the bit better GPU of 5850 it's an all around good deal once it comes out.
