If you want a gaming PC enthusiast to start salivating, one brand name you can throw around is Alienware. Technically a Dell sub-label, Alienware desktops and laptops are tailor-made for gaming, and come in all shapes and sizes. But one of the best and most powerful Alienware setups is the Aurora R16 Gaming Desktop, which just so happens to be on sale through Dell:

For a limited time, when you order the Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming Desktop through Dell, you’ll save $250 on your purchase. Current pricing is $1,300, and the regular retail is $1,550.

Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R16

Every configuration of the Aurora R16 is an absolute powerhouse, but this offer applies to one of the fully loaded trims. This includes an Intel Core i7 (that delivers max clock speeds of 5.4GHz), an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU with 8GB of GDDR6 memory, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. From network-heavy online gaming to the most intense multimedia workflows you can muster, the Aurora R16 is primed to tackle any challenge. There’s a reason the Aurora R16 tops our list of the best gaming PCs.

One of the most important things to consider with any gaming hardware is how you’re going to keep the components cool and ventilated. Once tech starts overheating, hard drives and other core peripherals start failing. Alienware is up on all this, though, which is why the Aurora R16 features much larger passageways and improved venting. Alienware even claims the R16 should run 20% quieter than the previous R15 model.

Regardless of the monitor you’re using (and we have a whole list of monitor deals to peruse), the Aurora R16 has every port you can imagine, including HDMI 2.1, USB-C, Gigabit Ethernet, and a bevy of audio connections. You’ll also be able to customize RGB lighting and monitor gameplay and PC settings and performance with Alienware’s Command Center software.

While we’re unsure how long this offer is going to stick around, there’s the potential it could be gone tomorrow. So, if you want to save big, now might be the best time to knock $250 off your purchase of the Alienware Aurora R16 at Dell. We also have lists of the best gaming PC deals and gaming laptop deals for you to look through.
