I need help figuring out if the PC I've customized will work properly and will run demanding games like skyrim, battlefield and crysis 3

here are the specs for my pc:

CPU - Intel Core i5-4690k 3.5GHz Quad-Core

CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper TX3 54.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

Motherboard - MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150

Memory - Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1866

Storage - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

GPU - EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB SuperSc ACX 2.0+

Case - Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply - EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX

Optical Drive - Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

Operating System - Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit
Monitor - Acer H236HLbid 60Hz 23"


And for my second question, would the $1000 Alienware X51 R3 have better performance than my PC?
