It will be fine for gaming and streaming. However, you won't get the best quality out of your games as far as graphics settings goes.

Just so you know, you'll easily get double the performance if you build a PC yourself - prebuilt computers, ESPECIALLY alienware, are horrible rip-offs.

Hello! I couldn't help but notice your post and decided to help you out as I own an Alienware alpha myself (i7 model) I actually started a youtube channel to show people what kind of performance you would be getting out of the little box. They are actually quite cheep on amazon right now 439.99 for the i3 model. There are some are some cons to the console such as you can't upgrade the GPU but you can upgrade the processor,ram, and Hard drive. The console will run most games at medium to high settings at 1080p 30/60fps depending on the games. There is another benifit you get from getting this system then building your own such as theres alot of people out there with the same exact hardware as you and they can help you with any issues you may have software and hardware wise, so you won't be alone in that reguard. If you have any questions reguarding the console people feel free to ask. Theres Also serveral other youtubers that have alphas that can answer any of your questions and they are usually helpful as well.
