This desktop is the only gaming PC you'll ever need and it's on sale for $700 off on Black Friday
Black Friday is upon us, and Dell has been slashing price tags on its computers, namely the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop. Over at Best Buy, several models have received discounts with the most impressive deal belonging to the Aurora R16 housing an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super graphics card.

A PC with a GPU like the RTX 4080 Super is primed and ready to deliver a gaming performance that very few can replicate. It supports multiple gameplay-enhancing software: Nvidia DLSS 3, which utilizes AI to create extra frames to enhance overall image quality; Nvidia RTX for realistic lighting; and Nvidia Reflex, ensuring low latency. Of course, a GPU like this can be used to tackle tough workloads like graphic design, video editing, as well as 3D image rendering.
A graphics card like this wouldn’t be as good as it is without the right environment. Alongside the RTX 4080 Super, the Alienware Aurora R16 has an Intel Core i9-14900KF processor, 32GB of RAM enabling smooth performance, and a 2TB SSD. Considering how unoptimized modern games are nowadays, you’ll be thankful to have that 2TB SSD.
Other notable features include RGB lighting (because what would a gaming PC be without rainbow lights), 17 individual inputs ranging from five DisplayPorts to nine USB-A ports, and support for Wi-Fi 6E.

It’s currently on sale for $2,500, $700 off its original price on Best Buy. If you purchase this version of the Aurora R16, make sure you have plenty of room because it is pretty big. It measures 7.76 x 18.05 x 16.5 inches and weighs nearly 34 pounds.
Best Buy has other options if $2,500 is still too expensive. You can buy an Aurora R16 sporting an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super for $1,800 or one housing a GeForce RTX 4060Ti for $1,200. Neither boasts the same level of power as the model I recommend, but they’re still solid picks.
Best Buy states on the product listing that the “deal ends tomorrow”, November 30th. Exactly when on the 30th the deal will go away is unknown. Regardless of the timing, you only have a limited time to take advantage of these savings. It’s possible Best Buy could introduce a new deal on Cyber Monday or during Cyber Week; however whether or not that’ll be the case is also unknown.
