Alienware is back with the best Black Friday gaming deal of the week, and the cheapest RTX 4K60 Ti Super rig that we've found.
Alienware's second Prime Day event in October featured a fantastic deal on a heavily discounted Aurora R16. It was one of the best sales of the season. Now it's back with the cheapest RTX4070 Ti Super gaming computer and what could be the best Black Friday gaming deal.
Dell is currently offering the same Alienware Aurora R16 with a $600 discount. This makes it $1,500. Up until now, the best deal we could find was the Lenovo Legion Tower 5I. It had the same CPU and graphics card inside but with double the memory.

Alienware's machine is still my favorite, despite the 32 GB RAM and promise of nonproprietary hardware. Although we've had some issues in the past and I still find proprietary motherboards and PSUs to be an abomination, especially now that the chassis are plain ol’ tower chassis, this is a lot of PC for your money.
Lenovo is also a better choice than Dell in other ways. It's a hassle to upgrade a proprietary PSU, say when a new GPU is released, and you are restricted to Dell's options.
The Aurora R16 has a 1 KW power supply. This is a far superior version to the 850 W power supply in the Lenovo. You will have more power than you need for an RTX 4090. It also supports its Core i7 14070F with a closed-loop liquid cooler that will be more efficient than the air cooler used in the Legion Tower 5I. We know that Intel's Raptor Lake refresh processors require a powerful cooling system to prevent them from throttling clock speeds.
Alienware has more than one best in class deal during Black Friday. Dell offers the Aurora R16 with 64 GB DDR5 memory, a 2 TB solid-state drive and RTX 4090 for under $3,000 if you are looking for the most affordable gaming PC.
Alienware PCs aren't our favorite when they're full price. But Dell loves a good deal. And when it knocks $1,000 off the sticker price, we take notice. This is the most affordable RTX gaming PC available today. It comes fully equipped to handle pretty much anything you throw at it." data-widget-type="deal" data-render-type="editorial">
