The GeForce RTX 4090, while a generation older than the Blackwell 50 series, remains a powerhouse GPU, outperforming the RTX 5080, RTX 4080 Super, Radeon RX 9070 XT, and RX 7900 XTX. Only the RTX 5090 surpasses it, but finding one at a reasonable price is nearly impossible.
Discontinued status makes the RTX 4090 increasingly scarce. Fortunately, Dell offers two pre-built PCs featuring this GPU at competitive prices: the Alienware Aurora R16, starting at $3,299.99, and the Dell Tower Plus, starting at $2,849.99. These represent some of the best deals currently available for an RTX 4090 system, as many other manufacturers, including Lenovo and HP, have discontinued their RTX 4090 offerings.

$3,299.99 at Alienware
This Alienware Aurora R16 boasts an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 16GB DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The CPU is upgradeable to an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, though this is generally unnecessary for gaming, as performance is primarily GPU-bound at higher resolutions. The included Intel Core Ultra 7 265F offers a solid 5.3GHz max turbo frequency and 20 cores, cooled by a 240mm AIO liquid cooler. The system is powered by a 1000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The Dell Tower Plus offers similar specs: Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 16GB DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. Consider upgrading the CPU to the Intel Core Ultra 7 285K for $100; this also improves cooling from standard to advanced air cooling (125W TDP vs 65W TDP). Power is supplied by a 1000W 80PLUS Platinum PSU.
RTX 4090 Performance: How Does It Stack Up?
The RTX 4090 reigns supreme among RTX 40 series GPUs. Only the $2000 RTX 5090 offers superior performance. It effortlessly handles 4K gaming, delivering 60+ FPS at max settings with ray tracing, especially with DLSS 3 support. Path tracing remains demanding for all GPUs, but is rarely used outside of benchmarks. While the RTX 5090 is faster, the 4090 excels in virtually all gaming scenarios for most users.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU Review by Chris Coke: "The RTX 4090 may be huge and expensive, but it delivers unparalleled frame rates. Even the $1,599 price seems reasonable given its performance and DLSS 3 capabilities."
