Deal rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
By far and away the biggest selling point of this Alienware gaming PC deal is that you’re getting a super-speedy RTX 3060 Ti graphics card for under a grand. While this card isn’t exactly new now it’s still more than capable of outputting absolutely great performance at 1080p resolution - and even in 1440p, in some cases.
Backing up this powerful GPU is anIntelCore i7-12700F processor, which is again pretty damn speedy for the price. It’s not the latest chip (there are 13th gen Core i7s now), but it’s more than enough to keep up with the RTX 3060 Ti. In fact, if you did want to upgrade your GPU down the line, this chip will likely hold up for a good few years with subsequent upgrades.
Speaking of which, the Alienware Aurora features an easy-to-navigate tool-less design that makes tinkering really easy. Even though you won’t need to do any upgrades to this machine to get great performance (it’ll be great out the box), it’s great to not have to mess around with any unneeded tools.
Note, there are a few other decent gaming PC deals to check out this week due to the ongoingPresidents' Day sale. If you’re interested, here are a few more of our favorites this week. You can also see ourcheap gaming PC dealspage for some budget options.
