Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4090 Gaming PC for $2899.99
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. A side benefit is that the GPU is supplied with fresh air from the outside instead of recirculating hot internal air.
This config is equipped with an Intel Core i9-14900F CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The 14th-gen Intel Core i9-14900F Raptor Lake Refresh CPU boasts a max clock of 5.8GHz with 24 cores, 32 threads, and a 36MB cache. This is Intel's newest i9 chip and it boasts a higher clock speed, more cores, more threads, and more cache than the 13th-gen i9-13900 CPU. The "F" in 14900F simply means that the chip doesn't have onboard graphics (iGPU). The entire system is powered by an energy efficient 1000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.
The RTX 4090 is the most powerful GPU on the market. No other video card, either from NVIDIA or from AMD, comes close. As a reference, the RTX 4090 is about 110% faster at 4K gaming than the already impressive RTX 3080. It's about 60% faster than the previous king, the RTX 3090 Ti.
