Dell's latest refresh to its Alienware Aurora desktop PC is now shipping on both sides of the Atlantic, with prices starting in the U.S. at $799.

The Aurora R6 is only a mild refresh over the previous generation R5, with the main attraction being the new 7th generation Kaby Lake processors from Intel. At the entry level you're getting a Core i5 7400, 8GB of RAM and a 4GB AMD RX 460 GPU.

The Aurora was reborn in 2016, coming back into the Alienware lineup as the much smaller X51 departed. It's a clever mid-tower PC that manages to cram a huge amount of power into a still fairly small box. The innovative design has the power supply on a hinge, pulling back to reveal the inner workings. It'll support four RAM sticks, as well having a pair of vacant SSD bays and a 3.5-inch HDD slot as well.

We'll be taking a closer look at the R5 variant of the Aurora very soon, so stay tuned for that. If it sounds like the PC for you, hit the link below and get your order on.
