This Decked Out Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4090 Gaming PC Drops to Below $3,000

Author : Ryan Feb 26,2025

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, boasting an RTX 4090, is currently available at a significantly reduced price of $2,899.99 – a $1,000 discount from its original price. This represents a rare opportunity, as RTX 4090 PCs under $3,000 are uncommon. Considering the rising cost of standalone RTX 4090 cards (often exceeding $2,000), this pre-built option offers excellent value, especially with the included comprehensive warranty.

Alienware Aurora R16 i9-14900KF RTX 4090 Gaming PC

Price: $2,899.99 (Was $3,699.99) at Alienware

This powerhouse features an Intel Core i9-14900KF processor, a GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, 32GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 2TB NVMe SSD. The i9-14900KF is currently Intel's top gaming CPU, excelling in both gaming and productivity tasks. Its robust cooling system, a 240mm AIO liquid cooler, effectively manages its heat output. The system is powered by a reliable 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 4090 remains the market-leading GPU, outperforming all competitors from both NVIDIA and AMD. Its exceptional performance allows for 4K gaming at ultra settings with ray tracing enabled, maintaining high frame rates even on the most demanding titles. Its 24GB of GDDR6X VRAM also makes it ideal for AI applications.

Regarding the RTX 5000 Series GPUs

While NVIDIA's upcoming RTX 5000 series (launching late January) promises increased performance, expect a substantial price increase. The RTX 5090's anticipated $2,000 price tag and potential availability issues make the current RTX 4090 deal even more attractive. The RTX 5080, while priced at $999, may also face availability challenges and possesses less VRAM (16GB vs 24GB) than the 4090.

Alienware's R16 Chassis

The R16 chassis, a 40% smaller design compared to previous Alienware desktops, features efficient airflow with side intake vents, front and rear 120mm fans, and two 120mm top fans housing the 240mm AIO radiator. While some configurations omit liquid cooling, Alienware's liquid cooling solution is superior to their air cooling options. Note that Dell's new Area 51 chassis (announced at CES 2025) bears a strong resemblance to the R16.
