Now that the RTX 5070 has been available for a while, we’re starting to see the first promising price cuts on pre-built gaming PCs carrying the new graphics card.
Take the latest Alienware Aurora, for example, which has just received its first-ever price cut at the official Dell Store. Right now, you can pick up the RTX 5070 configuration with an Ultra 9 chipset and 32GB of DDR5 RAM for $2,399.99 (was $2,649) thanks to a decent $250 price cut.
Alienware gaming PCs are always popular, but as TechRadar’s deals editor, I usually only recommend them to our readers when they go on sale. This is the first price cut yet on the latest model, so it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re interested in one of these premium machines.
With that said, there are other great options on the market right now at other retailers if you’re not dead-set on an Alienware machine. This CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme at Best Buy for $1,999 and this ABS Stratos at Newegg for $2,099 ($2,499) are particularly good choices for an RTX 5070 gaming PC right now.
Not only do they feature non-proprietary parts for easy upgrades down the line, but both of these machines feature an outstanding Ryzen 7-9800X3D chipset. Personally, I’d be tempted to buy one of these over the Alienware if it were my own cash, but the Aurora is definitely no slouch when it comes to specs.
