Grab one of AMD's best GPU and CPU combos in this Alienware PC for $1,600
Alienware Aurora R10 gaming PC | AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT | AMD Ryzen 7 5800 | 16GB DDR4 RAM | 1TB SSD + 1TB HDD | $1,849.99$1,599.99 at Best Buy (save $250)(opens in new tab)It's great to see prices for gaming PCs with high-end graphics cards stabilise a fair bit in 2022 so far. This RX 6800 XT was once a valuable resource, and sold for a lot more cash than even this whole PC. But those days are over and this is a reasonable price for a machine with this spec. The storage and RAM are both plenty suitable for this sort of money, too.
When it comes to performance, 4K gaming at 60 fps or higher is well within reach with this machine.
Over in Best Buy's, ahem, dads and grads sale, I've spotted an Alienware R10 Ryzen Edition gaming PC that combines some of AMD's top silicon today for just $1,600(opens in new tab). That's a decent deal considering that card's a match for Nvidia's RTX 3080(opens in new tab), and you get a sensibly spec'd PC around it as well.
My personal favourite GPU from AMD's RX 6000-series GPUs (I awarded it 90% in our review), the Radeon RX 6800 XT(opens in new tab) is an excellent card for 4K gaming. It comes with a generous 16GB of GDDR6 memory, quite a bit more capacity than either competing RTX 3080 model, and it doesn't struggle to push 60fps even at the more demanding 4K resolution.
To be honest, I wish you could still buy the RX 6800 XT for its original $649 MSRP, but that's not really the case anymore. Best Buy has a Gigabyte model going for $800(opens in new tab) in its dads and grads sale (I was told not to mention the name of the sale by my editor because it sounds daft, so I'll do it a lot), which is an okay price if you really must purchase the card on its own.
