All parts are from Amazon and the build costs $350 overall.
$450 with windows 8.

Is the Alienware alpha better than this build should I buy that instead I never built a PC before and the Alienware alpha base config costs about the same as my build. The only downside to the Alienware alpha is the non upgradable gpu.

It depends on the game and the frame rate you want, but assuming that you'll be happy with 30 frames-per-second and low-medium settings it should be fine.

I'd encourage you to upgrade the CPU to an i3 though. Recent games are now utilising multiple threads and a dual-core CPU will most likely become a bottleneck quite soon.
