Some new deals just cropped up as part of the Dell Black Friday in July Sale. Right now you can get an Alienware Aurora R16 GeForce RTX 4090 gaming PC for as low as $2999.99.
The RTX 4090 is by far the most powerful GPU you can get, and you'll be able to comfortably run any game you want at 4K resolution with high frame rates and ray tracing turned enabled. 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.
