Aldi’s new gaming PC with RTX 3080 was completely sold out after a very short time. Experience has shown that the discounter does not add any more new devices. So if you couldn’t get hold of a PC, look into the tube. We have been looking for alternatives for you – and have found what we are looking for.

Update from October 5th, 2021:

It can go that fast! Within a few hours of the go-ahead the Medion Erazer Hunter X20 was completely sold out at Aldi.

As with previous offers, it can be assumed that Aldi will not increase the quota again. So if you couldn’t get hold of any of the popular game computers, you will not get anything this time either. However, the great success should ensure that Aldi will soon sell a gaming PC again. We will keep you up to date and then tell you again whether the purchase is worthwhile.

If, on the other hand, you don’t want to wait for Aldi to come around the corner with a new offer, we have selected some promising alternatives for you:

Medion Erazer Hunter X20: Aldi gaming PC on offer from Thursday

If you are looking for a gaming PC to play in WQHD with a particularly high frame rate or for 4K resolution with 60 FPS, the Medion Erazer Hunter X20 from Aldi offers you more than enough hardware power. The combination of the components seems sensible and well thought-out. Since a Z490 motherboard is also built into the computer, PC gamers can overclock the i9 processorto get even more performance out of the system. The integrated water cooling should give PC enthusiasts a little more leeway.

The combination of 2 TB PCIe SSD and HDD offers more than enough memory for games, documents, videos, pictures and the like. Since the computer also supports WLAN and Bluetooth and Windows 11 is already running on the system, it becomes an all-round carefree package.

Windows 11 offers some interesting changes compared to Windows 10:

Is it worth buying the Aldi gaming computer?

A gaming PC with RTX 3080 for 2,600 euros? That may sound expensive at first, but it is not due to the current hardware crisis. Above all, the prices for graphics cards in retail are beyond good and evil. Without further ado, we put together a similar system and ended up with an even more expensive price (as of: 27.09.2021: 2,755.89 euros via geizhals.de). So if you put this computer together and build it yourself, you actually pay for it!

The new gaming computer from Aldi cuts a solid figure overall. The bottom line is that the Medion Erazer Hunter X20 is not a real price breaker, but since you can actually save a few euros compared to self-construction, interested PC gamers should definitely mark September 30th in red in their calendar. On this date, the Aldi computer will go on sale and will probably be out of stock again within a very short time.
