Awesome deal, Im still running my Alienware Aurora R7 with liquid cooling from like 2018. Upgraded from a GTX1080 to a RTX3070. Not a single issue with this PC. I run it for about 8+ hours a day and often max out the CPU and GPU from gaming yet ive never had an issue with overheating even when my office was 90+ degrees

Yeah, I'm still rocking an Aurora R10 with a 3080 and the only time it crapped out was when I decided to try to crypto mine. It just corrupted the SSD, so after a system recovery, it has never failed. Stopped the crypto mining of course. Currently, I leave it on 24/7 and game regularly sim games such as iRacing, Dirt 2.0, MSFS 2020 and 2024. It is a great even though all rescues at the time were always claiming that the thing would overheat. They were incredibly wrong.

Getting 100-200fps on all games maxout with my 4090. So no. Its not needed for 4k.

I highly doubt that your hitting 200fps even with DLSS unless you're playing games like Fortnite, running at 1080p or not using max settings in game. Most AAA games at 4k won't hit a consistent 200 fps


Edit: My mistake, i read 4080 for some reason. yeah the 4090 is impressive but if youre on a 3xxx series then its worth the jump to the 5xxx series

I was about to say that this seems really overpriced and then I noticed the 5080 in the bundle. Gotcha. That's cool. I think this is the first 5080 deal that I've seen. If you're wanting a 5080, it's like you're getting a whole computer for free based upon the current pricing.

Maybe no one told you, but they stopped making new 4090s last fall. And I promise you as soon as you add raytracing to the mix you aren't getting anywhere near those fps without all the fake frame stuff even on a 4090. Ask me how I know. 🤣

Amex premium Business Cash Card has 13% off. If somebody can combine with 10% off, this is killer deal.

This appears to be regular price. Funny that buying components near MSRP is considered a sale now.
Good luck buying 5080 at MSRP.

FYI, i got the BF deal for 4070TiS and it has been a good pc. The 16gb ram can be replaced with a better RGB ram for less than $150. You also get 6% return from dell which can be used to buy more AW accessories. It was 9% during BF which i used to get a dell monitor.

Wish they still had the $200 off for the platinum et al. Such a shame,
