This high-end Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, boasting an RTX 4090, is currently available at a significant discount on Dell. Normally priced at $3,699.99, it's currently $2,899.99 – a $1,000 savings. This represents a rare opportunity to acquire an RTX 4090 system for under $3,000. With RTX 4090 prices climbing again, and standalone cards costing at least $2,000, building your own PC might not be as cost-effective. This prebuilt option also includes a comprehensive warranty.
Price: $2,899.99 (was $3,699.99) at Alienware
This powerhouse features an Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU, a GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 2TB NVMe SSD. The i9-14900KF is currently Intel's top gaming CPU, excelling in both gaming and productivity. While known for running hot, it's effectively cooled by a 240mm AIO liquid cooler. The system is powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.
The RTX 4090 remains the market-leading GPU, unmatched by any competitor. Its performance is exceptional, enabling 4K gaming at ultra settings with ray tracing enabled and high frame rates, even on demanding titles. Its 24GB of GDDR6X VRAM also makes it ideal for AI tasks.
NVIDIA's upcoming RTX 5000 series, launching late January, will undoubtedly offer superior performance. However, expect significantly higher prices (RTX 5090 around $2,000, RTX 5080 around $999). Availability may also be limited. While the RTX 5080 will likely be powerful, it will have less VRAM (16GB vs. 24GB) than the 4090.
The R16 is Alienware's compact 2024 desktop design, 40% smaller than previous models. Its efficient airflow design utilizes side and front intakes, and rear and top exhaust fans, with a 240mm radiator for the liquid cooling system (included in this configuration). Note that Dell's newer Area 51 chassis (announced at CES 2025) is visually similar. Alienware's liquid cooling is superior to their stock air cooling and is worth the added cost.
