Alienware’s Black Friday in July sale just dropped a wave of serious gaming hardware deals. Desktop beasts with RTX 5090s are now hundreds off, and the latest Area-51 and Aurora systems are pushing 4K frame rates with ease. On the portable side, Alienware’s newest 16- and 18-inch laptops are loaded with 4080s and 4090s, making high refresh 1440p gaming look effortless. There are deep M.2 drive discounts too, including a Crucial T500 1TB with heatsink for under $85. And over at Green Man Gaming, the entire Final Fantasy series is up to 70% off, with big cuts on Rebirth, Remake, and classic bundles. Let’s get into it:
Alienware Gaming PC Sale:
This thing runs an RTX 5090 with 32GB of VRAM and it’s an absolute monster. At 1440p you’re looking at frame rates well over 200 in most games. Even at 4K it powers through at 100 to 130 frames depending on the title. I’d tell any friend who wants the best to check this out before stock disappears.
Same beast of a GPU with the RTX 5090 but paired with the Ultra 7. It still hits 200 plus FPS at 1440p and holds strong around 100 to 120 at 4K. The difference comes down to a bit less CPU muscle but for gaming it barely matters. This thing flies.
With an RTX 5080 under the hood this one feels like the sweet spot. I’d expect 140 to 160 frames at 1440p and solid 80 to 100 at 4K with settings turned up. It’s fast, efficient, and has just the right amount of flair for a high refresh setup.
You get the same GPU power as the previous model but with a stronger CPU and loads more RAM and storage. Frame rates stay around 140 to 160 at 1440p and 80 to 100 at 4K. If you’re editing, streaming or multitasking this is the build I’d lean towards without jumping to a RTX 5090 rig.
This one runs great at 1440p. I’d expect 120 to 140 FPS without compromise and around 60 to 80 at 4K if you tweak settings a bit. The 5070 Ti is perfect for fast-paced games without breaking the bank. It’s responsive and just feels right.
RTX RTX 4060 Ti brings solid performance for the price. At 1440p you’re looking at about 110 to 130 FPS and 50 to 70 at 4K. It’s not built for extreme settings but for most players it’s more than enough. Quiet, capable, and cost-effective.
Alienware Gaming Laptop Sale
Even with the mobile 5070 Ti it pushes 120 to 140 FPS at 1440p. At 4K you’ll see around 60 to 80 if you dial settings down a bit. That 18‑inch smooth display makes it feel like a desktop in disguise.
This one bumps everything up. I’d expect 140 to 160 FPS at 1440p and 80 to 100 at 4K. The display stays fast, cooling stays efficient, and gaming stays smooth.
With the RTX 5090 this machine is wild. At 1440p I’d hit 160 to 180 FPS and at 4K I see 100 to 130 depending on the game. As a portable powerhouse it leaves plenty of desktops in the dust.
This mid‑range 16‑inch option runs 1440p at 120 to 140 FPS and 4K around 60 to 80. It’s compact but powerful, and a massive 240hz refresh rate feels so fluid.
Stepping up to 5080 gives an obvious improvement. I’d get 140 to 160 FPS at 1440p and 80 to 100 at 4K. It handles visuals and performance with smooth confidence.
Serious hardware in a slim chassis. At 1440p you hit 160 plus FPS and even at 4K it pushes 100 to 130. Everything loads fast and it multitasks like it’s on rails.
With the 5070 and 64 gigs of RAM the multitasking feels effortless. I’d expect 120 to 140 FPS at 1440p and about 60 to 90 at 4K. Ideal for gaming and creative workflows without lag.
RTX 5060 offers solid frame rates without the premium price. At 1440p expect 100 to 120 FPS and at 4K around 50 to 70. This one stays light and carries enough punch for most games.
RTX 5070 slots in well here. I’d see 110 to 130 FPS at 1440p and 60 to 80 at 4K if you drop a few settings. Reliable and well balanced for everyday use and gaming.
This feels incredibly responsive with the RTX 4080. I’d pull 140 to 160 FPS at 1440p and 70 to 90 at 4K. That 480 Hz screen will make everything feel buttery smooth.
The 4090 inside a lean laptop chassis is stunning, and there’s not that much difference from a 5090 in all honesty. At 1440p you’ll get data above 160 FPS and at 4K around 100 to 120. If you want flagship mobile performance this one defines it.
M.2 SSD discounts
Games will pop up almost instantly with razor sharp boot times. It’s also built with PS5 compatibility in mind so if you’re running low on console space this slides right in without hassle. Even under pressure, the built-in heatsink keeps it cool, giving peace of mind during long sessions.
This bad boy is built for speed with up to 7,100MB/s read speeds, making it a great option for faster game loads and system responsiveness. It also includes a low-profile heatspreader that helps maintain peak performance. For under $100, it’s a smart upgrade if you need reliable Gen4 performance without overspending.
With a 46 percent discount, this is one of the best value Gen4 SSDs available right now. It delivers up to 7,300MB/s read speeds and comes with a heatsink already attached, which makes it perfect for PS5 installations or tight PC builds. I use one for spare storage for my backlog in my PC, and it’s fast enough to handle demanding games and creative workloads.
