If you want to buy the cheapest possible RTX 4090 prebuilt gaming PC, then take a look atAlienware’s Aurora R16 offer—at a cent shy of $3,000 you honestly won’t find anything cheaper. Never one to back away from a challenge, I’ve been hunting through theBlack Friday PC gaming dealsto see if it’s possible to build your own rig out of the various offers and undercut Dell’s steep asking price.
Well, to cut to the chase, I couldn’t. At least, not with hardware that’s a match in terms of gaming performance, but I reckon I have something that’s actually better, even though it’s a little more expensive.

Yes, I know the Core i7 14700KF isn’t the same chip as the 14900KF that’s in theAlienwarebut when it comes to gaming, you won’t notice the difference. That’s because all the latter has over the former are more E-cores and a higher P-core boost clock. Neither of these will matter when you’re gaming at 4K with an RTX 4090.

In an attempt to keep the total cost down, I had to go with a fairly budget motherboard but the ASRock Z790 PG Lightning is a decent one, at least. It’ll cope with the 14700KF just fine and while I’d prefer a board with more USB ports, I’m not going to get that for $130. Fortunately, it has lots of scope for storage with four M.2 slots that are all PCIe 4.0 compliant.

Intel’s processors love fast RAM but anything over 6,400 MT/s becomes a bit of a lottery as to whether the CPU and motherboard cope with a higher speed. The Team Group 32 GB DDR5 kit I’ve picked is ideal for pretty much any Intel setup. Rated to 6400 MT/s with a CAS latency of 32 cycles, it’s genuinely speedy. You’re not getting any fancy RGB lights but that’s no big deal when it’s just $89 in price.

Despite having no DRAM to boost heavy writing loads, the NM790 is no slouch for gaming and general use, as we found with the4 TB version when we reviewed it. Lexar might not be a well-known name just yet, but it will do in time if it keeps on making brilliant SSDs like this one.

Intel’s Raptor Lake processors just love power and the more you let them use, the better they will perform. Unfortunately, all that energy ultimately becomes heat, so if you use a performance power profile in the motherboard BIOS (253 W for short and long period limits), that Core i7 14700KF will get super hot very quickly.
Just a word of warning, though: They are an absolute pig to install, as you have to remove the default Intel mounting bracket from the motherboard first. The radiator is also big, thick, and heavy, and the pump is awkward to screw down.
PSU

The RTX 4090 has a peak board power limit of 450 W and coupled with a Core i7 14700KF set to 253 W, your power supply unit will need to cope with a maximum demand of over 700 W. I’ve gone with a 1000 W PSU simply because the peak efficiency is when it’s under 50% or so load, and the extra headroom helps to keep power excursions (aka power spikes under control).
For me, though, its best feature is the dedicated 12VHPWR socket. That means you can hook up the RTX 4090 to just one cable that’s included with the PSU and never have to worry about adapters or multiple cables.

I’ll admit that I chose the Montech mostly on the basis of its very low price but I also wanted some specific features. The most important of which was plenty of room for the Arctic Freezer III 360 cooler and the Air 930 Max doesn’t disappoint in that aspect. Plus it comes with four fans pre-installed, helping to save you a bit more cash.
More expensive but better
Now, all of the above will set you back $3,097.76 so I’m $97.77 over the Alienware’s price tag.
“Hang on”, you may cry. “That Alienware has 64 GB of RAM, plus a better CPU,andit’s cheaper.” That’s all very true but here’s why my build is actually better.
That Aurora R16 RTX 4090 comes with a 240 mm AIO cooler and I’ll tell you now, it’s just enough for a full-power 14900KF. The CPU will end up hitting its thermal limits and that’ll impact the boost clocks, whereas my setup will have no such concerns, even if you use the Intel performance power profile in the motherboard.
Dell loaded up the R16 with a mountain of RAM but it’s only rated to 5200 MT/s—my kit offers 23% more bandwidth and I’d bet my last dollar that it has a much better CAS latency than the Dell set.
The main reason why my build is better, though, is upgradeability. While both systems are limited in terms of what CPU you’ll be able to install (Intel’s latest Core Ultra 200S chips won’t fit in an LGA1700 motherboard), none of my chosen components are proprietary. That means you’ll be able to easily swap and move things about at will.
Dell uses its own motherboard and chassis design, so the connectors are unique to them, making it much harder to do any kind of upgrade or expansion.
Alternative builds
If you live near a Micro Center store, you can save a bit more on the above build. You can’t buy these bundles online (so youwillneed to head into a store), but you can get aCore i7 14700K dealfor a cent under $500 that includes a motherboard and 32 GB RAM kit. That’s around $47 cheaper than my choice of CPU, mobo, and RAM.
If you don’t care about cores and what something that you can install a better CPU in at some point in the future, then you need to head down the AMD route. Micro Center has aRyzen 7 9700X bundlefor $430. That won’t be faster than the 14700KF in lots of games but the 9700X isn’t that far off, as I found when I reviewed it.
Or you could just blow the budget and get aRyzen 7 7800X3D bundle($600) and build yourself an outstanding gaming PC. You’re looking at nearly $3,151 for the total but what a machine it will be.
