You could end up paying as little as $1,300 for a low-end model, to well over $5,000 should you decide to trick out your rig with the best components, including a liquid-cooled, top-of-the-range Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 Ti GPU. You have a lot of configuration choices with the latest Alienware models. The Alienware Aurora R14 is available for purchase right now in one color: Bark Side of the Moon (Black), while the Aurora R13 is available in Lunar Light (white) and Dark Side of the Moon (black).

Alienware claims it gives the case a bit more internal space and better airflow, to complement the 120mm AIO liquid cooler. That angular design isn’t just for the looks, however. It features a redesigned chassis (the Legend 2.0) that’s a little laid back than usual. On the other hand, the Ryzen Edition R14 version we’re reviewing is just limited to just the dark side of the moon, black. The Intel-based Aurora R13, for instance, comes in both the white (lunar light) and black (dark side of the moon) versions of Alienware’s new, larger chassis. They also both get up to 750W Platinum-rated power supplies.Īlso, both desktops get the same storage options, ranging from a 256GB M.2 SSD up to a 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe SSD paired with a 2TB SATA HDD. As a result, Alienware pushed the new design onto two new PCs: the Intel-based Alienware Aurora R13, as well as our review unit, and the Alienware Aurora R14 (Ryzen Edition) which uses existing high-end AMD processors.īoth the R13 and R14 boast the same graphics, ranging from the base models with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 up to an RTX 3090 for the Nvidia models, and AMD choices from Radeon RX 5300 up to the RX 6900 XT.

Both the Aurora R14 and Aurora R13 are special flagship series of Alienware’s gaming desktops, released in October 2021 to mark the company’s 25 th birthday.Īnd with Intel’s new 12 th Gen Alder Lake CPUs in the market, it seems like this was the best time for Alienware to take the throne for the gaming PCs. That means most gamers than ever are likely looking at this gaming rig in anticipation of scoring a reasonable alternative to building a custom PC, and it is – only that it doesn’t come that cheap.

As we’ve seen since last year, building your own gaming PC has become more and more expensive, but Alienware’s PCs haven’t really been affected that much. Prebuilt gaming PCs like the Alienware Aurora R14 are only getting more popular, especially in the backdrop of unavailable PC components that gamers need to build their gaming PCs.
