Default Signs of Alternator failing

So the past 2 weeks I've been getting a "Brake & Battery" light on my dashboard. Volt gauge is running at 12V when the car is on. A couple of days ago my Volt gauge was fluctuating from 10-14 Volts and finally my car died. Tried restarting but car fails again within a couple of minutes. I thought it was time to replaced the battery so I recently installed a brand new optima battery, however, "BRAKE & BATTERY" light comes on again, volt gauge is running at 12V NOT 14V as usual.

Iv had the car since day one, 107K miles. Im thinking its my alternator not charging the battery. Is there any aftermarket alternators that I can use? or should i stick to OEM?
