Easy, maybe. Cheap, no. You're paying for the brand, the flashy case and parts that fit a smaller form factor (the Alienware machines are using laptop GPUs instead of desktop ones, I am not sure they would support Oculus at all). Cheaper just to assemble it or buy a gaming PC that isn't constrained to the HTPC form-factor.

Not to mention the streaming device gives you the option to run the actual PC in another room, where the noise won't be so much of an issue.
