The Alienware Aurora R16 is equipped with an Intel Core i9-14900F CPU, GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16GB GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. The 14th gen Intel Core i9-14900F Raptor Lake "Refresh" CPU boasts a max Turbo clock of 5.8GHz with 24 cores, 32 threads, and a 36MB cache. This is one of the most powerful consumer CPUs on the market right now and it boasts a higher clock speed, more cores, more threads, and more cache than the 13th-gen i9-13900 CPU.

The updated GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is 5%-10% faster in performance than its predecessor thanks to its higher base clock speed, higher CUDA core count, and higher memory bandwidth. It's not as powerful as the far more expensive RTX 4090, but this card gives you more than enough horsepower to handle any game in 4K at high framerates, even with max settings and ray tracing enabled.

Why Pick a Dell or Alienware Gaming PC?

The Alienware Aurora R16 is one of our picks for best prebuilt gaming PCs of 2024. The current generation R16 chassis is 40% smaller in volume compared to previous iterations but also boasts better thermal management. It features a simple yet proven airflow design; air is drawn in through the side intake vents over the GPU area as well as a 120mm rear fan drawing air in and a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler exhausts air out through the top. Another benefit of the side vent is that the GPU isn't choked for air; it is supplied with fresh air from the outside instead of recirculating hot internal air like in other PC cases.

Not everyone is the DIY type, and these days prebuilt gaming PC aren't that much more expensive than building your own computer. In fact, depending on the demand of certain components like the GPU, it might even be cheaper. Alienware desktops offer a staggering array of options, all built into a custom chassis that's both easy on the eyes and easy on the wallet. Consistent build quality, available inventory, frequent sales, and solid customer service are the main reasons why Dell is at the top of our buying list.
