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

The GeForce RTX 4090, while a generation behind the Blackwell 50 series, remains a powerhouse, outperforming the GeForce 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 a near-impossible feat.

Discontinued status makes the RTX 4090 increasingly scarce. However, Dell offers two pre-built gaming 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 some of the best prices currently available for an RTX 4090 pre-built system, as many other manufacturers like Lenovo and HP have discontinued their RTX 4090 offerings.

$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 CPU is upgradeable to an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, though this is unnecessary for most gamers. The included Intel Core Ultra 7 265F offers a strong 5.3GHz max turbo frequency and 20 cores, cooled effectively by a 240mm AIO liquid cooler. The system is powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

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

The Dell Tower Plus features similar specs: Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 16GB DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. Upgrading the CPU to the Intel Core Ultra 7 285K for $100 is recommended; it improves the processor and upgrades cooling to a more robust 125W TDP heatsink. Power is provided by a 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

RTX 4090 Performance

The RTX 4090 reigns supreme among RTX 40 series GPUs. Only the $2,000 RTX 5090 offers superior performance. It handles 4K gaming flawlessly, delivering 60+fps at max settings with ray tracing enabled (even higher with DLSS). Path tracing remains demanding for all GPUs, but rarely used outside benchmarks. While the RTX 5090 might be faster, the 4090's performance excels for most users.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU Review by Chris Coke: "The RTX 4090 may be huge and expensive, but it delivers unrivaled frame rates. Even the $1,599 price seems reasonable considering its performance and DLSS 3 capabilities."
