The Alienware Aurora R15 is a powerhouse prebuilt with better performance and cooling than its predecessors, but proprietary parts make it hard to upgrade, and at the top-end, you shouldn't be getting a hard drive.

At its highest configuration, the Alienware Aurora R15 is a truly next-gen gaming PC that sports both a 13th-gen Core i9 CPU and the RTX 4090 GPU. Combine that with a monster of a cooling system, and there's no PC title that you can't run with ease.
