What once was $3,200 is now $2,500. The Alienware Aurora R16 is our top choice of the best gaming desktops and it’s now $700 off. It has a 4080 Super, 2TB of SSD storage, and 32GB of RAM, not to mention a gorgeous look to it that invokes the mental imagery of an under-the-water alien cultist research lab. If this is enough to count you as interested, go ahead and tap the button below to find the computer on sale. Otherwise, keep reading and we’ll dive into the details about why you should consider this desktop and what exactly put it so high on our list.

Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R16

You should note that the configuration of the Alienware Aurora R16 on sale today is a sort of super version of the one covered in our Aurora R16 review, though most aspects are similar. One thing to note from the review, in particular, is that our reviewer found that “the Aurora R16 sacrifices very little by being a prebuilt.” This means that you don’t need to be a BIOS-understanding, static-electricity defying computer wizard to get a great final product. Its also worth pointing out just how good and reserved this PC looks, especially when compared to the overly bright and flashy competition. This PC looks fun, but it is also a step in the right direction maturity-wise. Finally, for the biggest difference between the review model and the one on sale, the graphics card, be sure to check out our RTX 4080 Super review, which covers that component specifically.

Once again, the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop is usually $3,200, a number that can be hard to stomach. However, right now it is yours for just $2,500. That represents a savings of $700 or around 22% off, and it can be yours if you tap the button below. If that’s still too much for you, or you wish to shop the field a bit, please check out our gaming PC deals guide. It was updated just yesterday, is a fantastic piece of writing, and really works to guide you through the process of getting a gaming PC that you’ll be truly happy with.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS Desktop
Well suited for gaming as well as working effectively from home, this Dell XPS Desktop is packed with great hardware. It has a 14th generation Intel Core i9-14900K CPU, which is the CPU that I personally considered kitting out my new gaming PC with. It also has 32GB of memory and 1TB of SSD storage. Best of all is its Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU with 12GB of dedicated VRAM. That all makes for a PC that is perfect for gaming even if it doesn’t look like a gaming PC. This is easily one of the best desktop PCs around. The only consideration I’d make for gaming is wishing there was more storage space, but that’s easily added at a later date.
