It's not a terrible computer, but you're going to pay a premium price for the name and not get the best components money can buy.

You can do much better with a custom built PC if you want to go that way, otherwise there are a few other sites that you can purchase pre builts from that have similar specs to the alienware alphas but have a lower/similar price.

Depends which variant of the Alpha you choose. More than likely they come with mobile (laptop) components like CPU and GPU which wont be as good for gaming as what building a PC would be for a similar price.

If you want to be limited with hardware upgrades like a console then get a Alpha.
If you want the ability to upgrade over time with better hardware then build a PC.

You won't be finding a console killer PC for that price, and any prebuilt PC for that price isn't going to max out any games settings wise but it will be able to give console level performance.

The $400 model uses a custom nvidia GPU that is similar to the 860m, so you would be looking at the benchmarks below for comparable FPS.
