Traditionally, this has been Dell’s best sale during the early part of the year to score a big discount on both Alienware gaming PCs and laptops. Prices on prebuilts have risen in 2026 because of the increased demand for RAM and GPUs, so if you’re looking to upgrade now, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to get a new system without an egregious markup. All systems ship free and include a one year warranty.Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC for $2,130More like thisOpen Back Headphones: A Sound Experience Like No OtherDell is currently offering an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for $2,179.99 with free delivery after a $650 instant discount. This customizable system is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. It’s cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling system. The 1,000W power supply gives you headroom for upgrades down the road. If you’re looking for a future-proof system, this RTX 5080 equipped PC should be powerful enough to set you up for 4K gaming for quite a while.Although I’ve highlighted the $2,130 Intel Core Ultra 7 system (because it’s the least expensive), the upgraded $2,350 Core Ultra 9 system is arguably the better deal. Swapping the Core Ultra 7 265F with a Core Ultra 9 285K in the options usually costs you $400, but Dell has discounted the upgrade price to just $220, and that also includes an improved liquid cooling system. The Core Ultra 9 285K boasts more cores (24 total), a higher turbo frequency (5.7GHz), and has an unlocked multiplier for more overclocking headroom.Alienware Area-51 RTX 5090 Gaming PC From $4,300If you’re seeking chart-topping gaming performance, then Alienware’s biggest and most powerful prebuilt should be high on your list. As part of a greater Dell Presidents Day Sale that started this week, the Alienware Area-51 AMD Ryzen X3D Edition RTX 5090 gaming PC has dropped in price from $5,650 down to $4,249.99 with free delivery. Prior to this sale, the lowest price I had seen for this exact configuration was $5,000.The Alienware Area-51 is Dell’s flagship gaming PC. The product photos don’t give it due justice; this is a big chassis that towers over the Aurora R16 model with superior build quality and a redesigned cooling system with even greater airflow. This is the only model that can be configured with the hot and power hungry GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card. The first wave of Area-51 systems featured Intel CPUs exclusively, with AMD X3D options only available since late November.Alienware 16X Aurora Gaming Laptop From $1,499.99The Alienware 16X Aurora gaming laptop is on sale at a reasonable price for the first time in 2026. Choose either the Intel Core Ultra 9 / RTX 5060 configuration for $1,499.99 ($470 discount) or the Intel Core Ultra 9 / RTX 5070 configuration for $1,899.99 ($470 discount). The Alienware 16X Aurora is the spiritual successor to the m16 laptop, featuring an all-aluminum build (top lid and chassis), high quality display, and powerful unthrottled discrete graphics.Get a 24″ Monitor for Just $63 With Any PC PurchaseThe 24″ Dell SE2425HM might not be the premier monitor you’d want to be using for gaming, but it’s a good secondary or backup monitor to have on hand, especially for the price you can get it at. Purchase any PC and you can get an extra 30% off its current sale price of $89.99, dropping it to $62.99. Just make sure you add it to the same cart as your PC and you should see the discount automatically applied. The SE2425HM features a 1080p 100Hz IPS panel.How to Follow IGN Deals RecommendationsThe IGN Deals team has over 30 years of combined experience finding the best discounts and preorders available online.
