Go with the desktop. It looks decent but needs a dedicated gpu from what i can tell. A 750ti or 950 would be great cards for those games depending if your psu can support the extra power of the 950

Dollar for dollar you would have to pretty much spend $2000 on a laptop to get the performance of a $1000 desktop, unless you're moving around a lot or have space issues the desktop solution will always be better :)
