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.

Buy RTX 30-series Alienware gaming PCs now

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.
