Alpha wont run any games , please help!

I just received my alienware alpha base model but it wont rhn anygames withouy crazy lag. Its really unplayable i cant even start a match or anything on any games. On the main menu of games there is a 3-4 second delay on the mouse curser so i cant even start it l. I used to play spintires on a laptop and it played just fin but it wasnt a gaming laptop so why canf my alpha run any games. Also on the games from the windows store also lag but theyre playable, well kind of. Please help do i need to upgrade the ram? Ive seen videos of the base model running gta 5 just fine so whats my problem? Any help is much appreciated!
