Update October 9, 2023: The Alienware Aurora R15 that was originally discounted through Dell is now back to its normal price. You can, however, still get an Alienware Aurora R15 with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 at a massive discount. You just need to pick up the version with an AMD Ryzen 7950X rather than the Intel Core i9-13900KF. Gaming performance between the two chips is close, and the main thing is that you can still get an RTX 4090 at a large discount.
The piece has been updated to reflect that the Aurora R15 with a Ryzen 9 7950X is discounted.
The NVIDIA RTX 4090 is one of the most powerful gaming GPUs around, and right now you can get a prebuilt PC with that graphics card inside for $950 off. A Dell discount takes almost $800 off the Alienware Aurora R15 gaming desktop with an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
Buying an Alienware Aurora R15 is a great way to get the latest gaming specs at a more affordable price. Since Dell launched the Alienware Aurora R16 earlier this year, the R15 is often on sale. The newer Aurora R16 does have improved airflow and acoustics, but the Aurora R15 still has options for the latest hardware from Intel and NVIDIA.
This discounted Alienware Aurora R15 should be able to handle the best PC games. In addition to its high-end CPU and GPU combination, this model of the Aurora R15 has 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 2TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD. While 32GB of RAM is enough for gaming and creative work, you may want to expand the Aurora R15's storage.
Some games take up over 100GB of storage. But the Aurora R15 can be upgraded, and you can likely find a solid SSD to put in yourself for less than Dell would charge to include more storage in the box. The Samsung 990 Pro is a solid choice for gaming and is currently on sale through Amazon.
