Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4090 Gaming PC for $2999.99

Alienware Aurora R16 Liquid-Cooled Intel Core i9-14900KF RTX 4090 Gaming PC with 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD

This config features an Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 2TB NVMe SSD. The i9-14900KF CPU boasts a max clock of 6GHz with 24 cores, 32 threads, and a 36MB cache. Gaming-wise the Intel Core i7 and i9 perform similarly. However, if you plan to use your rig for rendering or AI work that can utilize the greater number of cores, then the i9 would be a better fit, especially since it also includes more RAM and SSD, which you would also need. It’s cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling system and powered by an energy efficient 1000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

Speaking of the chassis, the R16 is the newest Alienware Aurora gaming chassis, and it’s the biggest departure from Alienware’s iconic design in years. The R16 is 40% smaller in volume compared to previous iterations but has better thermal management. It features a simple yet proven airflow design; air is drawn in through the side intake vents over the GPU area as well as a 120mm rear fan drawing air in and a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler exhausts air out through the top. A side benefit is that the GPU is supplied with fresh air from the outside instead of recirculating hot internal air.

The RTX 4090 is the most powerful GPU on the market. No other video card, either from NVIDIA or from AMD, comes close. As a reference, the RTX 4090 is about 110% faster at 4K gaming than the already impressive RTX 3080. It’s about 60% faster than the previous king, the RTX 3090 Ti.
