Doesn't really matter which way u go your still gonna spend 1000 and up for a decent system ,I can't really offer a solid suggestion for a desktop because I build my own.
Alienware is part of your built PC? Alienware is part of pre-built PC and it means you don't build on your own, except for upgrades unless you got other PC desktop.
I prefer to build a PC that I order the parts and case from newegg and they are super cheap. You can build a decent PC desktop for $1,000.
