Desktop vs laptop

[RedLineGamer]

The topic says it all. I don't seem to have enough space for an desktop, plus my house is owned by my parents(I live with my parents), so they won't move the furniture :3

ITX?

 

 

[HKZeroFive]

Perhaps a Mini-ITX build? You'll get better performance for your money if you go for desktop.

[vectorx5000]

You can build very small much more powerful desktops with cases like some very small ones from silverstone. Mini-ITX rig would be more powerful than a laptop.

[Jacktastic-Mofo]

There are a lot of ITX cases that are tiny and you'll get much better performance for your money than a laptop.

Desktop all the way bruh, no doubt about it.

you cant move the furniture in your own room?

Edit... also what is your budget for a computer

[RedLineGamer]

My budget is $800. Needs to include i5 6500 and gtx 960

[blueballs]

go mini itx

[HelplmChoking]

Are you looking for portability? If so, use a laptop connected to a monitor, keyboard, mouse and maybe external GPU if you can. Otherwise, ITX all the way.

 

Edit: Just saw the budget, not sure on an exact build but you won't get much of a gaming capable laptop for that.

Get a gaming laptop - it'll still be more than capable to doing desktop tasks..

Mini itx mobos have 1 expansion slots, so I think itx boards are an no for me. Also, I think I have some space for an micro atx(please look at the 2nd picture). Is the micro atx a good choice?
