Dell has just dropped the price of this powerful Alienware Aurora R15 equipped with a GeForce RTX 4090 GPU yet again. Last week it was $1100 off and on sale for $2799.99, but this week the price went down to $2519.99 after a 10% off code "10AMD". This is the best Alienware deal on an RTX 4090 equipped gaming PC right now. RTX 4090 GPUs are currently difficult to find at MSRP; right now, a 4090 GPU on Amazon sells at a $200-$400 markup. If this is the GPU you really want, you might actually save money buying a prebuilt PC like this one instead of sourcing your own parts and going the DIY route.
Update: A new 10% off code "10AMD" drops the price from $2799.99 to $2519.99

This particular Alienware Aurora R15 config boasts an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 32GB of DDR-4800MHz RAM, and a 2TB M.2 SSD. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X features a boost clock speed of 5.7GHz with 16 cores, 32 threads, and 80MB of total cache. This is still one of AMD's best general purpose CPUs, excelling at gaming, 3D rendering, AI generation, multi-tasking, and pretty much anything else you can throw at it. It's cooled by an upgraded Cryo-Tech edition 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling solution, which offers even better thermal performance than the normal liquid cooling system that Alienware offers thanks to a thicker radiator and better fans. It's all powered by a massive 1350W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.
The RTX 4090 is the most powerful video card you can get right now. No other GPU, either from NVIDIA or from AMD, comes close. The RTX 4090 is about 110% faster at 4K gaming than the RTX 3080. It's about 60% faster than the previous king, the RTX 3090 Ti. The 4090 is also the consumer card of choice for stuff like machine learning or AI image generation apps like Stable Diffusion. NVIDIA cards are generally more powerful than AMD cards with these kinds of apps and the amount of VRAM is of the highest priority; the 4090 has 24GB of GDDR6X VRAM, more than any other consumer NVIDIA card.
Why Pick a Dell or Alienware Gaming PC?
Alienware is always one of our top picks for best prebuilt gaming PCs, especially when they're on sale. 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 gaming laptops and 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. The newest Alienware gaming PCs have significantly improved their cooling performance, especially when paired with a liquid cooling solution. Alienware gaming laptops in recent years have been redesigned to be thinner and lighter while still offering the same immense power under the hood. 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.
