Decent Gaming Desktop

[DrUltimateSunnyD]

I'm planning to get my first gaming desktop but I'm not sure what to buy. My brother already bought Alienware i5, and I was quite surprised by it's performance (please note I was never exposed to gaming computer). I have budget of around $600 and would be really lovely to get a recommendation of gaming computer. I know building computer will save me a lot of money, but I don't really have time to build one. Thank you for your support!

How would that computer par with the Alienware Alpha i5?

The CPU in the one I linked you is fairly worse than the i5 but for most games it should be more than enough
Unsure of the GPU in the alienware your talking about but the GTX 950 is good for med settings 1080p
