If you've been holding off on an upgrade because you were waiting for the components to come into what are probably the best gaming PCs money can buy right now, then this is the one for you. And there's a good spread of new builds, based around new, faster-than-ever, better-than-ever components too. For those taken by the incredibly exciting RTX 3080 graphics card, then there's a sweet build for you; if you're only considering the most beastly, in the form of the RTX 3090 card, then there's a rig for you; and if you fancy next-gen but can't stretch the budget, then there's an RTX 3060 Ti gaming PC below with your name on it; and if you're on the lookout for an entry-level Alienware gaming PC that'll still get the Intel 11th-gen CPU, then there's a computer here for you too. The spectrum is well covered.

Cramming in the latest RTX 30-series graphics cards from Nvidia and 11th-gen Intel processors means these machines will be some of the most powerful, most capable, and most exciting gaming PCs on the pre-built market. 

If you have or had an Alienware gaming PC then you'll know that when we say they are strong contenders for the best gaming PC money can buy, you'll know we're not lying.

Alienware Aurora R12 - RTX 3080 build | from $3,037.99 at Dell

Alienware Aurora R12 - RTX 3080 build | from $3,037.99 at Dell
Certainly the most attractive build in terms of the specs and the new components available. The 3080 is the darling of Nvidia's 30-series range, and so the build centered around that card is indeed the darling of this lineup. That new GDDR6X memory in the GPU and that 11th-gen processor? Mmm.

View Deal
Alienware Aurora R12 - RTX 3060 Ti build | from $1,891.39 at Dell

Alienware Aurora R12 - RTX 3060 Ti build | from $1,891.39 at Dell
If you're keen on jumping into the world of Nvidia's next-gen graphics cards, but can't quite stretch to the big boys near the top of the pile, then this 3060 Ti-build could be just the ticket. It'll offer a more modest overall performance, but will still get you the new Intel processor, the Nvidia benefits, and have you gaming at 1080p and 1440p like a dream.

View Deal
Alienware Aurora R12 - RTX 3090 build | from $3,841.59 at Dell

Alienware Aurora R12 - RTX 3090 build | from $3,841.59 at Dell
However. If you can afford the big boys, then you might want to consider the biggest of them all - the RTX 3090. This is an absolute behemoth that will see you right for a number of years from now, and cover you well if you're a creative or designer too. As the card is very costly by itself (roughly $1,500) the price of this PC does represent that somewhat.

View Deal
Alienware Aurora R12 - GTX 1650 build | from $1,077.99 at Dell

Alienware Aurora R12 - GTX 1650 build | from $1,077.99 at Dell
This one is more for those folks who might be shopping for their first Alienware PC. By toning back the graphics card (massively) to the 16-series level, the affordability goes right up on this build, but you'll still get all the new AlienwareR12 goodness, including that 11th-gen CPU.
