Personally I would go with the cheaper option as they both have the same gpu but the fangbook has an ssd which the alienware doesn't and has 8 gigs of gddr 5 vram which should help in gpu intense games.

and System Memory RAM Speed alienware has it but fangbook doesn't have follow is full link

Assuming that you are using this for gaming, cpu speeds don't make that much of a difference in gaming unless you are playing cpu intensive title. The i7s that are current linked are good but are not essential in games as the gpu will be the one dealing with the game and the cpu will be the one dealing with the other programs.

Well the Cyberpowerpc is the sale price normally 1949. The processors are pretty much the same (both max at 3.5). The difference is the 4710MQ can be upgraded and the 4710HQ is soldered to the motherboard and can't be upgraded. Pre-2015 Alienware used mobo that allowed upgrading the processors but the new 2015 models don't allow. Many die hards don't like the new Alienware.
