Alienware Has the Best Price on a GeForce RTX 4090 Prebuilt Gaming PC

/

The GeForce RTX 4090 may be a generation behind the new Blackwell 50 series GPUs, but it remains one of the most powerful graphics cards available, outshining the RTX 5080, RTX 4080 Super, and Radeon RX 9070 XT or RX 7900 XTX. Only the RTX 5090 surpasses it, but good luck finding one without a massive markup. With the RTX 4090 discontinued and increasingly scarce, Dell’s Alienware Aurora R16 prebuilt gaming PCs stand out with competitive pricing: $2,999.99 for the base model (Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) and $3,599.99 for an upgraded version (Intel Core i9-14900KF, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD). These are the best deals currently available for an RTX 4090-equipped system, especially as other brands like Lenovo and HP have phased out similar offerings. For gamers seeking top-tier 4K performance, the RTX 4090 delivers, making Alienware’s pricing a rare win in today’s market.
