It’s not every day you see an RTX 4090 on a pre-built gaming computer, but if you’re going to see it somewhere, it’s going to be on an Alienware device. Well, you’re in luck because if you don’t know how to build a PC from scratch but still want the best gaming performance, the Aurora R15 is the best gaming PC you can get. There’s even a great deal on the Dell, bringing it down to $4,200 from its usual $4,980, which is a whopping $780 off.
Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R15 gaming desktop
While the Alienware Aurora R15 may seem expensive on the surface, the price certainly matches all the smart equipment underneath. For example, the RTX 4090 is the best GPU available right now, bar none, even when you include AMD GPUs. And if you’re not familiar with GPUs, suffice it to say that the RTX 4090 can easily run 4k resolutions at 120hz and higher, even at high graphics settings, which is a little scary given the power. In addition to the best GPU on the market, you also get one of the best CPUs, the 13th generation Intel Core i9 13900KF, which is really only outclassed by server-grade CPUs, which are not available to most consumers. This means you can easily handle all the productivity, editing and even streaming tasks you want.
Also included in the pretty awesome case is 64GB of DDR5 RAM, the fastest RAM on the market, and with that much, we doubt you’ll ever run into any app or tab limits, even as a power user. That said, you can reduce it to 32GB to take $300 off the price, so it might be worth doing if you don’t need that much RAM. As for storage, you get a chunky 2TB SSD, although it might be worth going for the dual drive downgrade that takes $150 off. You still get 2TBs, but split between a boot SSD and a storage HDD, which you can then add an SSD to for games.
