Specifically I'd like to know if anyone out there uses the Alienware Alpha to play FFXIV as I am considering purchasing one to replace my PS4 for various reasons (not the least of which is the ability to use GPNs like WTFast on it).
What I would like to know is:

Are you using the i5 or i7 cpu?

Did you replace the stock standard 7500rpm sata with a solid state or hybrid drive?

and how does it handle FFXIV?
