Alienware Aurora R10 RTX 3080 PC for $1539.99

The RTX 3080 is the most recommended card for 4K gaming. It's not exorbitantly priced like the RTX 3090 and at 4K it only loses out on a few frames per second. The RTX 3080 is paired with a liquid cooled AMD Ryzen 7 5800 CPU, which is still one of the best processors out there, whether it be for gaming or for workstation purposes. Other specs include 16GB of DD4-3200MHz RAM and a 1TB HDD. We'd recommending upgrading to an SSD drive, either through Dell or on your own. This particular config comes with liquid cooling for the CPU and a generously sized 1000W power supply.

Alienware AW3423DW 34" QD-OLED Gaming Monitor

The first QD-OLED panel on the market

After much anticipation, Dell is now offering the Alienware AW3423DW 34" QD-OLED gaming monitor for $1299.99 on its website. Although by no means inexpensive, this is the first ever QD-OLED monitor we've seen and thus the price point is surprisingly reasonable for the new tech. Undoubtedly due to the hype, it has been going in and out of stock throughout the day, so don't hesitate if you've been waiting for this release. The estimated delivery date has already been extended all the way out to April 30.

QD-OLED technology was a big hit at this year's CES and Samsung earned the "Best of Innovation 2022" award for it. The QD OLED panel uses quantum dot technology to more efficiently produce higher peak brightness levels compared to traditional OLED TVs without losing the color accuracy and range and wide viewing angles that OLEDs are known for. Although Samsung is the one that publicized the new technology, it is Alienware that will be deputing it first to the consumer market with this AW3423DW monitor.
