Would it be better to build a desktop and then just buy a google chrome book?

My budget is 3000$ in total and I'm going to be a animal science major over at WT and then I will go to Texas Tech for there medical school. And I like to shadow of mordor and I'm super excited for shadow of war. So your thought as far as which laptop to buy?

Ok my parents told me they would split he cost of a laptop with me and I'm looking for a laptop that I can do some gaming on if I want to. I don't care if a laptop is bulky as long as it doesn't weigh enough to kill me at the end of the day and decent battery life is important.So my question becomes what is a good college and gaming laptop?
