It Feels Weird To Type These Words, But Alienware's Cyber Monday...

While it was a hard truth to accept while wistfully fiddling with build configurations in my younger years, Alienware and affordability don't often go hand in hand. For this year's Cyber Monday festivities, however, Dell's offering some uncharacteristically respectable discounts on its gaming line, bringing a pair of prebuilt PCs at the lowest prices we've seen on rigs packing the same Nvidia GPUs.

You'll need to tweak some of the available configuration options to ensure you're getting the best bang for your buck, but we've got suggested specs listed below for you to follow. With either of these prebuilt deals, you'll be setting yourself up with a potent gaming PC at best-in-class prices.

It's not every day we find an Alienware rig at the same price as all its best competitors, but that's what we have here. An RTX 5070 Ti gaming PC priced under $1,700 is very reasonable, though you'll have to configure it with the specs below yourself to hit the price. The RAM isn't the fastest, but it does come with 2 TB SSD upgrade for free, and the CPU and GPU combo should have you gaming at 1440p easily, and even at 4K in many games.

Key specs: Core Ultra 7 265F | RTX 5070 Ti | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | 2 TB SSD | 750 W PSU

Our first suggested Alienware Aurora offering boasts the midrange favorite 5070 Ti at a better price than you'll see on comparable competitors during this Cyber Monday season. As mentioned above, you'll need to do the configuring yourself.

Aside from selecting the 5070 Ti and a 750W PSU to provide the necessary juice, we're also suggesting that you invest in some RAM and SSD upgrades at a relatively cheap $150 added to your total.

Those selections won't provide top-of-the-line speeds, but the specs are plenty for a comfortable gaming experience at 1440p. Depending on the game and your willingness to toggle on frame gen, you can probably pull off 4K in a lot of cases, too.

Finding an RTX 5080 rig for less than $2,000 is very rare right now, and Alienware knows how to put together a good gaming PC. What's even more surprising is that, despite memory shortages, you can upgrade to 32 GB of RAM for $100 (which I've done here), and you can double the storage entirely for free. Well, for the base price of the rig, but the upgrade costs nothing. You will have to configure this yourself, but the below specs will get you to the impressively low price target.
