I’ve been tracking gaming PC deals all year and this RTX 4080 Alienware Aurora is the best I’ve seen for Black Friday

Black Friday is a fantastic time to consider upgrading your PC – especially when you can find deals on high-end machines like this Alienware Aurora R16 for $1,999 (was $2,799) at Dell.

This is one of the cheapest gaming PCs I’ve ever seen to feature a high-end GeForce RTX 4080 Super graphics card but this machine also manages to pack in a Core i9 chipset, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Put together, these are extremely impressive specs for the price and more than enough to tackle even the most graphically intensive games.

Generally speaking, Alienware gaming PCs are at their cheapest in the Black Friday deals season so it’s a good time to buy. We’ll likely see a new generation of RTX 5000 series GPU in the new year at some point, but I’d still highly recommend this machine as a worthwhile purchase. Not only is it a good candidate for an update, but the RTX 4080 Super will last you a few good years down the line yet either way.

Today’s best Black Friday Alienware PC deal

If the above deal is a little too pricey for your tastes, then another great option today is this Alienware Aurora R16 for $1,399 (was $1,999). This slightly lower-end configuration features an RTX 4070, Intel Core i7-14700F chipset, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. They are, like the above-featured deal, absolutely outstanding specs for the price.

Conversely, if you’re really looking to break the bank, then today’s Black Friday deal at Dell on this super high-end R16 configuration with an RTX 4090 for $2,999 (was $3,999) is also worth a look. Alongside an extremely powerful GPU, this config also features an i9-14900KF chipset, 64GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD – again, for a decent price thanks to today’s massive discount.
