Build Suggestion!

Hello LTT Forums!

 

This is my first post here so I apologize for any improper formatting. I am looking to move away from console gaming and into something more powerful. I live in the US, and I have a budget of around 2,500$. It should also be noted I have no monitors, but I do have a decent mouse/keyboard setup. My current and only daily driver would be my ASUS K55A Laptop with an Intel i5-3210M which is on its last leg since I've had it since 2012-2013ish. My Goal would be to have a gaming setup to play most new games(AAA titles), as well as productivity. I am completely open to AMD or Intel, and willing to up my budget IF it helps in the overall longevity of its gaming/productivity life-cycle. I have been entertaining the thought of splitting the budget for a laptop for daily use, and a PC for gaming. Would it be more feasible and "future-proof" to just spend all my budget on a gaming PC setup, or even top of the line laptop such as the 2019 Razer Blade 15 2080RTX?  Either way most use out of my new build or buy, would be mainly gaming and basic at home productivity(browsing webs). Any and all advice is welcome, and thanks in advance for all the suggestions!

Awesome, that's way cheaper than expected. I'll probably go with Windows 10 pro for OS. Thanks a bunch!
