The Alienware Aurora R16 desktop discounted today is powered by Intel’s latest Core i7-14700F processor with a 240mm liquid cooler. It’s coupled with 16GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and 1TB NVMe SSD along with the latest NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super GPU to handle the graphics. You are essentially looking at all the latest hardware here, so this desktop should be powerful enough to run even the most modern titles out there at 4K with DLSS.

Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop features:

• The 240mm heat exchanger, available on the optional CPU liquid cooling, heightens thermal resistance, ensuring temperatures stay consistently low during longer gaming sessions.​
• The Alienware Aurora R16 is our first gaming desktop to include the revamped Alienware Command Center software, where you can create and edit AlienFX lighting across the ecosystem, choose and monitor your performance mode across distinct power states, and create custom gaming profiles for your whole library.
• The R16 is our first gaming desktop to showcase the elevated Legend 3 industrial design, which is meant to prioritize a more minimal, optimized chassis – that is sleek and modern – with a new matte finish, Basalt Black.
• Our new industrial design is echoed by the overall compact and functional size of the system, which is about 40% smaller by volume than the Aurora R15.
