Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop

Our roundup of the best gaming PCs places the Alienware Aurora R16 at the top spot partly because it offers a lot of flexibility alongside competitive pricing. This configuration of the gaming desktop comes with the 14th-generation Intel Core i9 processor and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, plus 64GB of RAM that goes above and beyond the recommendation of our guide on how much RAM do you need for gamers. These specifications will let you play the best PC games at their highest settings, and will have you ready for the upcoming PC games of the next few years.

The Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop ships with a 4TB SSD, which is a lot of storage space for video games, and with Windows 11 Pro out of the box, you can start your installations right away. If that will take a lot of time, and if you’re the type of gamer who plays for several hours per session, the Alienware Aurora R16 won’t let you down because its liquid cooling system will keep it running at optimum performance at all times.

For gamers who are looking for the most powerful gaming PC that they can buy, you should turn your attention towards the Alienware Aurora R16 and this configuration that normally costs $4,695. A $795 discount from Dell lowers its price to $3,900, but there’s no telling for how long.

The 2026 ROG Strix G18 pairs up to RTX 5080 graphics with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18. It keeps the same 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor but tops out at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU instead of the Scar’s RTX 5090. (via Notebookcheck)
