The RTX 3080 is way more powerful than the previous generation’s best video card, the RTX 2080 Ti, and is the best recommended video card for 4K gaming. The RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3090 are the only cards that are (very slightly) more powerful, but they cost hundreds of dollars more. Depending on which config you choose, the RTX 3080 is paired with an AMD Ryzen 7, Ryzen 9 or an 11th gen Intel Core i9 processor, all of which are top notch CPUs for both gaming and workstation applications. Every config has been upgraded with liquid cooling for the processor and a beefy 1000W power supply.

Note: This config comes standard with a 1TB HDD. We recommend upgrading to a 512GB SDD, either through Dell (+$80) or on your own.

The RTX 3060 is no slouch; its performance is superior to the RTX 2060 SUPER and almost matches the RTX 2070 SUPER in some games. It will easily handle all of your games at up to 1440p. If that’s all you need, you’ll still save almost $200 compared to the price of the RTX 3070 config. It’s paired with a AMD Ryzen 7 5800 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD.

Note: This config comes standard with a 1TB HDD. We recommend upgrading to a 512GB SDD, either through Dell (+$80) or on your own.

Although the RTX 3060 is a fine card for 1080p gaming, the RTX 3060 Ti is a substantially faster card. In fact, the RTX 3070 is not much better, and most of the time the RTX 3060 Ti is recommended over the RTX 3070 in terms of price vs performance. This card is powerful enough to handle 1080p or 1440p gaming, even if you’re gunning for 144fps. It’s about as powerful as the previous generation’s RTX 2080 SUPER.

New 2021/2022 Alienware Aurora R13 Gaming PC

Unceremoniously dubbed the “R13”, Dell’s new flagship gaming PC sports a number of aesthetic, quality of life, and performance improvements over its predecessors. In terms of future proofing, the Alienware Aurora R13 is the first Alienware PC to come equipped with the newest 12th gen Intel Alder Lake processors. That’s paired with a Z690 based motherboard that accepts DDR5 RAM. This proves that DDR5 RAM actually exists in the wild. Your video card options are great as well; pick your choice of RTX 30 series video card, from the RTX 3060 Ti all the way to the RTX 3090, at your expense of course. Perhaps the best news? According to Dell’s website, these configs ship out in early March.

New 2021/2022 Dell XPS Gaming PC

Until recently, Dell’s only PC option that offered an Intel Alder Lake CPU, DDR5 RAM, and RTX 30 series video cards was in the form of the Alienware Aurora R13 gaming PC listed above. At a cost of about $2900 for an Intel Core i7 RTX 3080 combo, it’s out of reach for many people. Now, Dell has extended similar buildout options to its new 2021-2022 Dell XPS gaming PC. Compared to the previous model, the new Dell XPS chassis is larger in volume (27L vs 19L) and provides more clearance for the CPU and GPU area for much better airflow. That’s important because the new Alder Lake processors can run hot under intense loads. Like the Alienware Aurora R13, the new Dell XPS PC features a Z690 motherboard that supports the newest 12th gen Intel Alder Lake processors, DDR5 RAM, and RTX 30 series video cards over PCI-E 5.0. These configs should also ship in mid February.
