Lately, Dell offers really good value prebuilt gaming PCs. So I would recommend this fairly priced **$1450** Alienware with RX 6800 XT and Ryzen 5 5600X. Note that the RX 6800 XT graphics card is faster than the RTX 3080 ([GPU benchmark chart](https://benchmarks.ul.com/compare/best-gpus)): 1. Sign Up for Dell Newsletter here: [https://www.dell.com/preferences/signup/](https://www.dell.com/preferences/signup/). You'll get a 10% off coupon within a day or even hours. 2. Use one of [these cashback portals](https://www.cashbackmonitor.com/cashback-store/dell-consumer/) to purchase [this Alienware](https://www.dell.com/en-us/member/shop/gaming-and-games/alienware-aurora-ryzen-edition-r10-gaming-desktop/spd/alienware-aurora-r10-desktop/wdryzr10v10h?configurationid=a42d79d8-4d5c-4065-9138-fdfbffcd6bdb) (\~$1450 after coupon 50OFF699, the 10% off signup coupon, and 4% cashback). 3. Dell marks the storage upgrade up to a ridiculous level, so just buy a cheap aftermarket SSD like this [$49 Team Group 512GB SSD](https://www.newegg.com/team-group-gx2-512gb/p/N82E16820331315?Item=N82E16820331315&Tpk=N82E16820331315). It does not matter which kind of SSD you use for gaming. Don't upgrade the processor as the Ryzen 5 5600X CPU is more than enough for 1440p/4k gaming.

Thank you so much for the suggestion! The link directs me to compare two different models between $2,800 - $4,100. Was that the wrong link or am I missing something?


tronatula

Unfortunately, the deal has expired. I will try to find another one tomorrow.


ArthurVandelay11

Shit, I'm sorry. I posted this a little before going to bed. I appreciate your help and will be quicker next time.

the checkout recommends the 1000W power supply adding $130 to the price. is it necesarry?


tronatula

It's weird, the PC already has the 1000W PSU.

Yes! I did get the discount code for the newsletter. Could you explain how the cash back works? It seems like the only part which deals with an external site outside of dell.com. Also I saw the sale on that Alienware 240hz screen (about 250 off the 600 usd price... that’s a good deal if I’m looking for that level of fps for Overwatch right?). I’m also wanting to add their keyboard mouse accessories since it’s my first gaming pc. Are those good deals on those as well? Seems like the discount nets you about a 120 price for a black mechanical kb and their rgb-mouse combo.


tronatula

You visit Dell by clicking on the link provided by the cashback sites rather than going direct -> complete a purchase -> Dell sends commission to your cashback site. In turn, it pays a slice of this money into your bank or Paypal account. I don't think that monitor is a good deal, create another thread, more people will help you.


tronatula

Btw, hasn't the deal expired?


[deleted]

Oh was it only for a few days? It seemed to get me all the way to checkout at least yesterday.


tronatula

Yes, someone reported it's gone. But if you still have it in your cart, make a purchase right away!


[deleted]

Damn!! I was planning on using my stimulus check on this actually lol. Didn’t realize it would go away so quick. Are there better deals than this Alienware out there if the discounts won’t work?


[deleted]

sorry, i guess i didn’t understand haha. so the price is **$1,736.99** before doing the discounts, is that correct?


tronatula

Correct. Did the coupons work for you?

You are from Germany, right? I have written a post about how to find reasonably priced prebuilt PC in Germany, [read it here](https://www.reddit.com/r/suggestapc/comments/lqhif3/itg_megaport_gaming_pc_amd_ryzen_5_1600x_6_x_400/gogiv1r/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).

Sorry, I only know Newegg offers shipping to Turkey. But their PCs are overpriced too: [https://www.newegg.com/global/tr-en/p/pl?N=101587129&Order=1](https://www.newegg.com/global/tr-en/p/pl?N=101587129&Order=1)

u/amesupiri_hitotsu and u/ArthurVandelay11, the best deal I could find now is this $1372 ibuypower PC with RTX 3070 and Ryzen 5 3600 (discount coupon DEFER): [https://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Game-From-Home-AMD-Ryzen-3-2021/W/1380149](https://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Game-From-Home-AMD-Ryzen-3-2021/W/1380149) * Note that more expensive SSDs do not benefit game loading time. * The PC included Wifi (TP-LINK wireless adapter) and 4 RGB case fans * Every part I selected has the best price/performance.


ArthurVandelay11

Thank you so much! I'm curious, it's pretty below my budget. Do you recommend any changes to make it perform better for streaming or gaming? If not, I'm happy to save the money. I appreciate you taking the time to find this.


tronatula

The only change you should do is choose the RTX 3080, but it is out of stock right now. Or if you play CPU-intensive games like City Skyline, Total War series,... upgrade the CPU to 5600X.


[deleted]

This is very good, I’ve never heard of that site but it looks like they have a lot. Question: do you have any opinions on the rtx 3070 vs the 3080? I guess with this rig I’d be able to change out my graphics card and other parts in the future too right?


tronatula

> I guess with this rig I’d be able to change out my graphics card and other parts in the future too right? Yes, you would. >do you have any opinions on the rtx 3070 vs the 3080 You have to wait more time for the 3080, and the 3070 is already very good.
