Best Prime Day computer deals: Save hundreds on Alienware, iBuyPower and more

Alienware Aurora R12 w/ Core i7 & RTX 3080: was $2,489, now $2,199 @ Dell
If you're looking to spend some money on a new gaming rig this Prime Day, Dell has knocked nearly $300 off the price of its well-reviewed Alienware Aurora R12 desktop tricked out with an 11th-gen Core i7 CPU and a GeForce RTX 3080 GPU. Given how hard it is to find Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 restocks right now, this is a great opportunity to get one at market rate.

iBuyPower Creator RDY LCIIBR203 w/ Core i9 & RX 6900 XT: was $3,799, now $3,599 @ iBuyPower
Again, if you're in the market for a high-end gaming PC, custom PC maker iBuyPower has knocked up to $200 off many of its ready-to-ship PC builds. Since the GPU stock disaster has driven GPU prices through the roof, paying $3,599 for this pre-built PC with an Intel Core i9 CPU and a beefy Radeon RX 6900 XT GPU might actually be one of the more affordable ways of getting your hands on a high-end GPU.

Alienware Aurora R10 w/ Ryzen 7 & RTX 2060 Super: was $1,869 now $1,499 @ Dell
We've long considered the Alienware Aurora R10 an excellent gaming PC, and for Prime Day Dell is taking hundreds off the price tag of an R10 tricked out with a Ryzen 7 CPU and a serviceable Nvidia RTX 2060 Super GPU. You'll want to upgrade the 2-year-old GPU sooner rather than later, but with the ongoing GPU shortage this isn't a bad way to get your hands on a decent gaming PC.

Skytech Chronos w/ Ryzen 7 & RX 6700 XT: was $2,449, now $2,099 at Newegg
Newegg is having its own sale today, and among the best computer deals is this Skytech Chronos configuration with an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT GPU. It's nearly $400 off the usual price, making this a decent way to get your hands on a prebuilt PC with a decent GPU that should play most games at great framerates for years to come.

Alienware Aurora R10 w/ Ryzen 7 & AMD RX 5600: was $1,499, now $1,199 @ Dell
This is a less powerful configuration of the Alienware Aurora R10 than the deal listed above, and it knocks $300 off a mid-tier configuration that sports an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU paired with an AMD RX 5600 GPU. The GPU is on the weaker side, but it should still be plenty to play most PC games in 1080p at a good framerate. 

ABS Master Gaming PC w/ Core i5 CPU & RTX 3060 GPU: was $1,299, now $1,199 @ Newegg
This admittedly isn't a huge discount, but with PC components still so dear this isn't a bad way of saving $100 on a pre-built PC with a decent Core i5 CPU and a very powerful GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, which are still quite hard to find. (Currently out of stock; check back later.)
