Memorial Day Deal: Alienware Area-51 RTX 5090 Gaming PC

Originally $5,499.99, now $4,899.99 at Alienware. This configuration features an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor, 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The Core Ultra 9 285K, Intel's latest flagship CPU, delivers exceptional performance for both gaming and workstation tasks. Although it doesn't surpass the i9-14900K by a significant margin, it remains Intel's top-tier all-around CPU.

New for 2025: The Alienware Area-51 Chassis

Dell unveiled the updated Alienware Area-51 at CES 2025, featuring a refreshed design with improved aesthetics and cooling. The I/O panel is now located at the top of the case, and the tempered glass window spans the entire side panel, enhancing visibility while eliminating side panel vents. Air intakes are positioned at the bottom and front, promoting positive airflow for a cleaner interior. The chassis includes a new motherboard, faster RAM, and a more robust power supply to support the latest CPUs and GPUs.

The RTX 5090 Is the Most Powerful Graphics Card Ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is the undisputed king of consumer GPUs, offering a 25%-30% performance increase over the RTX 4090 in traditional raster performance. It also boasts 32GB of faster GDDR7 VRAM compared to the 4090's 24GB GDDR6. Nvidia's focus on software enhancements, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology significantly boosts gameplay performance. However, the RTX 5090 is scarce at retail, often fetching $3,500-$4,000 on eBay.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE Review by Jackie Thomas

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has claimed the performance crown from the RTX 4090, albeit with a smaller generational uplift than usual. For non-AI gaming, the improvement is modest, but DLSS 4 delivers substantial performance gains in compatible games, with 75% of frames generated by AI."
