Not only does Nvidia's latest GPU provide a significant gaming boost, but its other components also contribute to this, including an Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2 CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
It's sleek, it's quiet, and, most importantly, it's an excellent way to upgrade your PC setup to the latest in gaming performance at this price. It beats what Amazon currently has on offer (an RTX 5070 model for essentially the same price), so if you're ready for high-end performance, this Alienware Aurora R16 will get you there.
This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC delivers excellent performance in a sleek, compact design. How so? With its Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB NVMe M.2 PCIe SSD. Expect this rig to run demanding PC games at their finest, and now that it's just below $2,000, it's an excellent choice for newcomers and PC gamers looking for an upgrade.
Nvidia's latest generation of RTX 50-series GPUs delivers significant performance gains. As you'll find in our RTX 5070 Ti review, this graphics card, featuring 16GB GDDR7 video memory, offers exceptional 1440p and 1080p gaming, as well as impressive 4K gameplay. Better yet, DLSS 4 makes the best PC titles offer jaw-dropping visuals with super-smooth frame rates.
It's a good thing it's wrapped in the best gaming PC around. We're big fans of the Alienware Aurora R16, with its minimalist yet subtly stylish design that won't take up much space on your desk (measuring 18 x 16.5 x 7.7 inches) and keeps calm and quiet under pressure.
Speaking of design, there are a vast number of ports to take advantage of, including USB-A, USB-C, 3.5 mm audio, Ethernet, DisplayPort, HDMI, SPDIF, and even ports for surround sound.
Despite its looks, this is a gaming PC through and through. With its glass side panel showcasing its internals, honeycomb vents for optimized cooling (along with its air-cooled CPU and 1000W Platinum-rated PSU for reduced heat output), and subtle RGB lighting, it makes quite the impression.
That glass panel will also give you a look at the other strengths of the Aurora R16, including its Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB NVMe M.2 PCIe SSD. To manage it all, the Alienware Command Center helps you monitor system cooling, customize RGB lighting, and even create overclock profiles.
It's our top pick as the best gaming PC for good reason, and it's now even better, thanks to the RTX 5070 Ti model being $300 off. As a PC gamer, this is the desktop I'd have on my radar. However, I'm currently on board with gaming laptops, and would you look at that? The Alienware 16X Aurora with an RTX 5070 I spotted is still $450 off!
If you're after a more mobile machine, Amazon's big event is sure to have plenty more offers, so stay in the know to make fantastic savings on the best Prime Day gaming laptops in the lead-up to the sale.

SoftBank's $500B AI Moonshot Hits Speed Bump--But Son Isn't Slowing Down
SoftBank (SOBKY) just pulled off a sharp pivot back to profitabilityand AI is doing the heavy lifting. The Japanese conglomerate posted a 421.82 billion ($2.9 billion) net profit for the fiscal first quarter, more than doubling analyst expectations. The Vision Fund alone delivered 451.39 billion in gains, driven by rising valuations in holdings like Coupang, Symbotic, and Swiggy. But the real momentum came from SoftBank's growing exposure to Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), where a $3 billion stake rode a 46% rally in the chipmaker's shares. Add in another $3 billion asset sale from T-Mobile US and the firm now has more ammunition to chase Masayoshi Son's next AI frontier. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 11 Warning Signs with SOBKY. That frontier? A sweeping, high-stakes plunge into artificial intelligence infrastructureled by the $500 billion Stargate data center initiative in the U.S., in partnership with OpenAI, Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), and Abu Dhabi's MGX. Son is also pursuing a $6.5 billion acquisition of Ampere Computing and reportedly eyeing up to $30 billion in OpenAI funding. But execution isn't running on schedule. For the first time, SoftBank's CFO admitted that Stargate is delayed. Market volatility, U.S. trade policy uncertainties, and wavering AI hardware valuations have slowed the rollout. Still, SoftBank insists talks on its first Stargate project are about to beginand says it's now "all in" on AI across its entire operation. Even so, questions around funding firepower are starting to surface. SoftBank's loan-to-value stood at 17% as of June, but with Arm (NASDAQ:ARM) shares slipping and big-ticket investments stacking up, analysts see a potential breach of its 25% ceiling. Regulatory hurdles are also in play: the Ampere deal still awaits U.S. antitrust clearance, and the full OpenAI check may never be written unless OpenAI formally restructures into a for-profit entity. Despite all that, SoftBank shares just closed at a record highbuoyed by Trump's chip tariff push that could favor U.S.-based AI plays. It's a bold bet, but not without speed bumps. Investors are watching closely to see if Son can execute at scale without losing grip on the balance sheet. This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Sign in to access your portfolio

U.S. Reportedly Uses Trackers In AI Chip Shipments
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is back in the spotlight after a Reuters report said U.S. authorities have secretly placed location trackers in select AI server shipments to catch illegal diversions to China. The devices apply only to shipments under investigation and are meant to help build cases against people and companies that break export rules. People in the supply chain say they have seen trackers on some Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) and Super Micro (NASDAQ:SMCI) servers carrying Nvidia and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) chips, often tucked into packaging and sometimes inside the servers. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. Nvidia declined to comment. Super Micro said it does not disclose security practices. Dell said it is not aware of a government initiative to place trackers in its shipments. Authorities can use administrative approval or a judge's warrant, and companies may consent if they are not targets. How often this happens is unclear. Two China based resellers said they now check diverted shipments for trackers. In a 2024 example, a Dell server shipment with Nvidia chips reportedly had large devices about the size of a smartphone and smaller discreet trackers, and a DOJ affidavit described instructions to inspect Quanta H200 servers. covert tracking raises the enforcement bar and could slow gray market tighter export policing and watch for follow on cases and routing changes.

AI Daily: Altman challenges Musk with plans for Neuralink rival
Catch up on the top artificial intelligence news and commentary by Wall Street analysts on publicly traded companies in the space with this daily recap compiled by The Fly: Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. NEURALINK RIVAL: Microsoft (MSFT)-backed OpenAI and its co-founder Sam Altman are preparing to back a company which will compete with Elon Musk's Neuralink by connecting human brains with computers, heightening the rivalry between the two billionaire entrepreneurs, Financial Times' Ivan Levingston, George Hammond and James Fontanella-Khan report. The new venture, called Merge Labs, is raising new funds at a $850M valuation, with much of the new capital expected to come from OpenAI's ventures team, according to three people with direct knowledge of the plans. Altman has encouraged the investment and will help launch the project alongside Alex Blania, who runs World, an eyeball-scanning digital ID project also backed by the OpenAI chief, said two of the people. NVIDIA COMPETITOR: Rivos, a chip startup that aims to compete with Nvidia (NVDA), is seeking to raise between $400M-$500M, according to two people familiar with the matter, The Information's Valida Pau and Wayne Ma report. The startup, backed by Intel's (INTC) CEO Lip-Bu Tan, is seeking a valuation of more than $2B, one of the people said. It's not clear if the valuation would include the new investment, the authors note. If finalized, the new round would bring Rivos' total funding to more than $870M since it was founded in 2021. The company is designing a graphics processing unit for release as early as 2026 that could make a dent in Nvidia's dominance in the artificial intelligence chip market, according to four people with direct knowledge of the matter. AI CHIPS: U.S. authorities have placed tracking devices in shipments of advanced chips that have been deemed as high risk of illegal diversion to China, Fanny Potkin, Karen Freifeld and Jun Yuan Yong of Reuters report, citing two people with direct knowledge of the law enforcement tactic. Five other people involved in the AI server supply chain say trackers have been used in shipments of servers from Dell (DELL) and Super Micro (SMCI) as well as chips from Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD). Meanwhile, China is discouraging firms from buying Nvidia's H20 AI chip despite its role in trade negotiations with the U.S., as Chinese authorities fear reliance on U.S. technology and potential security risks, and are instead pushing for domestic chip alternatives, The Wall Street Journal's Raffaele Huang and Robbie Whelan report. Nvidia faces cybersecurity review demands in China amid concerns over chip tracking and potential 'kill switches.' CHROME ACQUISITION: RBC Capital analyst Brad Erickson notes that according to an unconfirmed Wall Street Journal article, Perplexity reportedly has submitted a bid to Alphabet to buy Chrome for $34.5B and positioned the deal as a way to provide a remedy to Google's (GOOGL) Search case that it lost earlier this year. The proposed price is nearly 2-times the company's last valuation but it has reportedly secured access to the necessary financing from VCs. The judge's decision on what remedies will be mandated for Google is expected at any point here in August. The firm believes the judge is fully aware there are willing and able buyers – one in particular with a valuation of more than 15-times that of Perplexity. RBC has felt for some time that the browser would be critical to ramping distribution for competing horizontal GenAI applications and thus, relative to a $34.5B bid, it would think OpenAI potentially would be prepared to pay significantly more for it in an auction scenario given the value unlock. The firm has an Outperform rating on Alphabet with a price target of $220. EXTREMELY WEAK RESULTS: Oppenheimer downgraded C3 AI (AI) to Perform from Outperform without a price target. The company announced 'extremely weak' preliminary fiscal Q1 results which imply a 35% sequential revenue decline, the firm tells investors in a research note. Oppenheimer views the quarter as a 'major concern' given the recurring nature of C3 AI's subscription revenue, suggesting the services are not working as advertised. The firm is concerned that the results indicate secular weakness in the company's underlying trends.
