For a limited time (possibly today only), Dell Outlet is offering a rare deal on one of its Alienware desktops. The Alienware Aurora RTX 5060 Ti gaming PC has dropped to just $1,455 with free shipping. Note that the RTX 5060 Ti graphics card is the superior 16GB VRAM variant that will be able to run pretty much any game at 60fps+ in 1080p. This "like new (refurbished)" unit comes with the same 1 year warranty as buying brand new. You better hurry, however, because inventory is extremely limited.
Alienware Aurora RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) Gaming PC for $1,455
Like new (refurbished) model with 1 year Dell / Alienware warranty
This configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is a 20-core processor with a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz. It's cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling system. The 750W 80Plus Platinum certified power supply gives you plenty of headroom for upgrades down the road.
The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is a totally different GPU from the more common 8GB model
The RTX 5060 Ti graphics card comes in two variants, with the only difference between the two being the amount of VRAM: 8GB or 16GB. Unlike the vast majority of prebuilts which are equipped with the 8GB model, this particular system is equipped with the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB model. If you can afford it, you should only get the 16GB model. Numerous outlets (including our own) have demonstrated that the performance gap between the 8GB and 16GB models is huge.
The RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) is a great GPU for 1080p gaming. It outperforms the RTX 4060 Ti by about 20%, and the gap widens in games that support DLSS 4.5 multi frame gen technology. The 16GB of VRAM also allows this GPU to hold its own in 1440p gaming, especially if you don't want to spend the extra $200-$300 to upgrade to an RTX 5070.
