PC OR LAPTOP ?

[HelpMeoutHERE]

Budget (including currency): £1100 

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: FORTNITE , R6 , FIFA , GTA 5 , MINECRAFT

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I am in a bit of a predicament as I am not sure if I should purchase a PC or a gaming Laptop. My budget for both will be around £1200 and if it is better to get a PC I would love for it to be a white build as my peripherals are white but that comes with another issue as I would like to get a another monitor ( preferably 240HZ ) but I am not able to find any decent 240HZ white monitors. Any help will be greatly appreciate. :)

If you need something portable then a laptop would be the way to go, if not then a desktop for sure. If you limit yourself to white only it's going to affect your budget and when it does that it affects your performance and once that happens it stops being a gaming rig and becomes an enthusiast rig. What monitor do you presently own?

I currently own a 165HZ black monitor but I would love to have 2 monitors , but about the white pc I don't mean all white I mean like the case , the GPU and the RAM sticks . And thanks but I wasn't thinking about a laptop just for the portable part of it yeah its a great addition but im not sure to get a laptop or not .

The 120mm fan goes inside the back of that case for an exhaust fan. Add that cpu cooler down below to this build and choose a graphics card that fits your budget.

No demand on it yet, but taking apart a monitor and taking its outer shell to cerakote is possible. It have been done.

Hell, some people even uses vinyl wrap. But i wont comment on how well the adhesion would be.

For all of these though? These are all IPC and cached choked games that most mobile chips don't have either or. At least not until we get more of X3D equipped laptops. I would say desktop is a must for smooth 144hz play.
