That is the kind of money I will likely never be able to spend on a gaming PC, and frankly, I wouldn&#8217;t advise most people do so. However, whilst updating our <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-pc\/\" target=\"_blank\">best gaming PC guide<\/a>, I was hit with the realisation that, for what you&#8217;re paying, this actually isn&#8217;t ludicrous. The horror, I know.<\/p>\n<p>Though the RTX 5090 MSRP is technically $1,999, it&#8217;s not been uncommon since launch to pay anywhere between <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newegg.com\/zotac-solid-zt-b50900d-10p-geforce-rtx-5090-32gb-graphics-card-triple-fans\/p\/N82E16814500597\" target=\"_blank\">$2,400 and $3,000.<\/a> As a result, we&#8217;ve been lucky to spot RTX 5090 rigs under $4,500 (though there is a pretty good <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newegg.com\/cobratype-gaming-desktop-pcs-geforce-rtx-5090-amd-ryzen-7-9700x-32gb-ddr5-2tb-ssd-venom-white\/p\/3D5-000D-00245?Item=9SIAHT3KD99468\" target=\"_blank\">$4,200 Cobratype deal<\/a> on right now). This is why, for $5,300 with an RTX 5090, Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, 64 GB of RAM, and 2 TB of storage, Alienware have packed a beast of a PC into the Area-51 desktop we tested recently.<\/p>\n<p>Though you&#8217;d expect as such, we saw monstrous scores in games, like an average fps of 256 in <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/cyberpunk-2077-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cyberpunk 2077<\/a> on RT Medium and Quality Upscale. In <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/avatar-frontiers-of-pandora-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora<\/a>, we saw it get up to an average of 142 fps on Ultra. These are very nice scores and fitting of its price point.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of an AMD option is disappointing, though. We saw the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/gaming-pcs\/corsair-vengeance-a7500-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Corsair Vengeance A7500<\/a> (an RTX 5080 rig) outperform it in <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/baldurs-gate-3-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3<\/a>, thanks to AMD&#8217;s 3D V-Cache CPUs. The <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/intel-core-ultra-9-285k-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ultra 9 285K<\/a> is a Cinebench wonder, and a pretty great productivity chip, but it&#8217;s a bit lacking in gaming. Our results still show quite a lot of power and good gaming performance, but the chip feels like a bottleneck in some games.<\/p>\n<p>As well as this, though the Area-51 was touted as an upgradable Alienware rig, that claim comes with an asterisk. The PSU choice limits the potential motherboard upgrades severely, which means it&#8217;s likely that if you want to upgrade that motherboard, you will have to swap out the PSU too.<\/p>\n<p>We saw excellent rendering scores in the likes of Blender, and importantly, its thermals make it the coolest rig we&#8217;ve tested in some time. The fan layout is a bit peculiar, as they&#8217;re all pointing inwards, and we saw a light improvement flipping them around, but it&#8217;s a mighty cool rig either way.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also absolutely massive. It&#8217;s the kind of PC you walk up to and say, &#8216;yeah, that probably cost you a pretty penny&#8217;. Well, in this case, it&#8217;s <em>500,000 pennies.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re on the lookout for a top-tier PC and have $5,000 lying around (that&#8217;s a big if), then the Alienware Area 51 is actually a very good rig, even though, as always, we&#8217;d advise hanging on for a sale. Alienware rigs tend to get discounts frequently, so you probably shouldn&#8217;t pay full price if you can stomach the wait.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-the-quick-list\"><span>The quick list<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-the-best-gaming-pcs\"><span>The best gaming PCs<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"featured_product_block featured_block_hero\" data-id=\"6de3d0b3-a353-4c4e-be05-d77c255291e9\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-pc\/#section-the-best-gaming-pc-1-000-2-000\" data-model-name=\"HP OMEN 35L\" ><\/p>\n<div class='product-image-widthsetter'>\n<p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:147.28%';><img style='width: 100%' class='featured_image' src='https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/rtx-5090-prices-are-so-ludicrous-that-alienware-gaming-pcs-actually-feel-dare-i-say-reasonable.jpg' alt=\"The HP Omen 35L gaming PC in white on a blue background\"><span class='featured__label hero__label'>Best overall<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"featured_product_details_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"featured_product_title_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"featured__title\">1.
