For the same kind of peformance of a computer costing as above, on a laptop u would be spending 'close' to $2000/£1700. And thats mainly due to trying to find a laptop with a top of the line mobile CPU (3740Qm), or a desktop CPU (LGA2011 i7 3820) that also has a good GPU like a 670m, they aint cheap.
As pricing goes today you have the following price/performance levels for desktops.
All Gaming Level
Low: ~$600
Mid: $750-$1000
High: $ 1000-$1500
Enthusiast: $1500-$2500
Extreme: $2500+ (Usualy up to around $5000)
Typical Specs (GPU & CPU)
Low: Amd CPU + 7770/650 GPU
Mid: i5 Intel CPU + 7870/660ti GPU
High: i7 Intel CPU + 7970/680 GPU (or multiples of)
Enthusiast: i7 Extreme CPU + 7990/AresII/690/Single GTX Titan
Extreme: i7 Extreme CPU + Multiple GTX Titans
At Enthusiats and Extreme levels u will also likely have only SSD's, no mechanical drives, a Custom built water cooling system, etc. All which add alot to the price.
This is only a rough guidline btw, depending on who u ask and where u go these figures and specs will almost certainly differ.
