Generally speaking, I'd put any PC purchases or rig upgrades on pause right now ahead of the RTX 5090 launch. However, Dell has discounted its Alienware Aurora R16 in such a way that it's impossible to ignore, especially since it's rocking an RTX 4090, Core i9 14900KF CPU, 32GB RAM, and might end up costing the same as custom Blackwell GPUs.

For anyone in the market for a high-end gaming PC, this deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 is hard to beat. It’s a well-rounded machine with top-notch hardware, a sleek design, and the reliability of a prebuilt system. Dell’s discount makes it an even sweeter deal, proving that sometimes, the premium route can still offer excellent value.

Right now the Alienware Aurora R16 w/ RTX 4070 on sale for $1,499, which is $500 off the usual $2,000 asking price. Dell is discounting a few different configurations of the R16, but this specific $500 discount is one of the best PC gaming deals I've seen so far this year.
