Get a Dell or Alienware GeForce RTX 4090 Prebuilt Gaming PC for as Low as $2,850

The GeForce RTX 4090, while a generation older than the Blackwell 50 series, remains a powerhouse, outperforming the RTX 5080, RTX 4080 Super, Radeon RX 9070 XT, and RX 7900 XTX. Only the RTX 5090 surpasses it, but finding one at a reasonable price is nearly impossible.

Discontinued status makes the RTX 4090 increasingly scarce. Luckily, Dell offers two pre-built PCs featuring this GPU at competitive prices: the Alienware Aurora R16, starting at $3,299.99, and the Dell Tower Plus, starting at $2,849.99. These represent the best current prices for an RTX 4090 pre-built system, as many other manufacturers, including Lenovo and HP, no longer stock them.

Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4090 Gaming PC

$3,299.99 at Alienware

This Alienware Aurora R16 boasts an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 16GB DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The processor is upgradable to an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, though this is unnecessary for most gamers. The included Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, with its 5.3GHz max turbo frequency and 20 cores, is excellent. Cooling is handled by a robust 240mm AIO liquid cooler, and the system uses a 1000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

Dell Tower Plus RTX 4090 Gaming PC

$2,849.99 at Dell ($3,149.99 - $300)

The Dell Tower Plus offers similar specs: Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 16GB DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. Consider upgrading the CPU to the Intel Core Ultra 7 285K for $100; this also improves cooling from standard to advanced air cooling (125W TDP vs 65W TDP). Power is supplied by a 1000W 80PLUS Platinum PSU.

RTX 4090 Performance

The RTX 4090 is the most powerful RTX 40 series GPU. Only the $2000 RTX 5090 offers superior performance. It handles 4K gaming flawlessly, delivering 60+fps at max settings with ray tracing, especially with DLSS support. Path tracing remains demanding for all GPUs, but rarely used outside benchmarks.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU Review by Chris Coke: "The RTX 4090 may be huge and expensive, but it obliterates the competition. Even at $1599, the unrivaled frame rates justify the cost."
