A landmark gaming PC should have plenty of processing and graphical power on top of efficient airflow and chassis design. After all, you don’t want your prized machine overheating when you’re in the throes of a Baldur’s Gate III battle. That’s why we tend to favor Alienware deals when vetting gaming PC discounts, which leads us to today’s promo:

Right now, when you order the Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming Desktop through Dell, you’ll save a whopping $800! At full price, this model sells for $2,800. 

Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming Desktop 

This version of the Alienware Aurora R16 comes with an Intel Core i9 (max clock speeds of 5.60GHz), an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. On paper, the CPU and GPU alone really seal the deal with this model, but we love that the PC is able to lean on a trove of memory and excellent storage, too. And lending a hand in the efficiency department is the 1000W platinum-rated PSU with its 240mm liquid-cooling system. Expect lightning-fast response times, next to no input lag, and gorgeous graphics (you should also check out the best monitor deals we’ve been keeping tabs on). 

You’ll also be able to use the Alienware Command Center desktop software to get into the nitty-gritty of your gaming specs. The program keeps track of CPU and GPU vitals and even lets you customize the RGB lighting of the Aurora R16. On top of one year of Alienware support, the R16 also comes with a 30-day free trial of Microsoft Office 365.

It’s hard to say how long this Alienware offer will stick around, but it could be a while before the next big markdown comes along. That being said, today might be the best day to save $800 on the Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming Desktop.
