The GeForce RTX 4090 remains one of the most powerful gaming cards available, despite being an older generation model. Its performance surpasses that of the newer Blackwell series GPUs, except for the more expensive RTX 5090. However, the latter is a rare find due to its high price tag.
In response, Dell has introduced two prebuilt gaming PCs with RTX 4090 GPUs at reasonable prices: the Alienware Aurora R16 and Dell Tower Plus. Both options start at $2,999.99 and $2,849.99 respectively, making them the best deals currently available.
The Alienware Aurora R16 features an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The system is powered by a robust 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler and a 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.
The Dell Tower Plus shares similar specs, but we recommend upgrading the processor to the Intel Core Ultra 7 285K for $100. This upgrade improves CPU cooling and boosts performance.
In terms of raw power, the RTX 4090 excels in gaming, handling high resolutions with ease and rendering smooth performance. While it may not be as fast as the RTX 5090, its superior value and widespread availability make it an attractive option for most gamers.
