If you're on the hunt for a new gaming PC, then Dell's Labor Day sale is a great option today. Several of the brand's high-end Alienware Aurora and Area-51 models are on sale with some of the best discounts I've seen all year - up to $600 off, in fact.

The brand's Aurora desktops start at just $1,099 (was $1,499) today for a model with an entry-level RTX 5060 configuration. While still a little pricey compared to some super-cheap options elsewhere, this particular config is definitely a good option for a solid 1080p gaming setup. It's not too pricey, while still featuring enough power to run all the latest games smoothly at 1080p.
