well, how much vram does the 7870 have?

The 7870 is equivalent to the R9 270X. The R9 370 is faster and would have more memory.

They will perform basically the same unless the memory difference comes into account.

And besides that you could save around half the price by doing some work instead of getting a prebuilt Alienware system.

A system that doesn't has the smallest amout of lowest possible speed memory needed for todays gaming.
A system that features a RX460 instead of a R9 370
A system that has a power supply from a trustworthy brand.
A system with the same hard disk size AND an SSD.
A system with a nice case, a system that also includes Windows 10, a DVD writer and a wireless card.
A system with a CPU that will gime you more performance in games while still being less expensive.
A system with a proper cooler for the CPU.
