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.
