August isn't traditionally known for blockbuster deals on the latest gaming PCs, but I've just spotted a superb mid-range option for those looking to game smoothly without breaking the bank.

Right now, you can get this RTX 4060 Ti-equipped Alienware Aurora R16 for just $1,199 (was $1,199) at the official Dell Store, which is an absolute steal considering the array of specs on offer here.

Alongside the powerful RTX 4060 Ti, you'll also get an Intel Core i7-14700F chipset with a liquid-cooling block, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a decently-sized 1TB SSD. In short, you're well equipped here right out the box for all but the most demanding of titles.

It's true that the RTX 4060 Ti isn't a super high-end card, but it's plenty powerful enough for 1080p gaming and even powerful enough to play most games at 1440p. Backed up by the excellent i7-14700F inside the stylish and easy-to-upgrade R16 chassis, this Alienware Aurora should provide you everything you need to get gaming in the sub-$1,500 price bracket.
