Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming PC with RTX 5080 GPU Now $400 Off

Dell currently offers one of the most competitive prices on a prebuilt desktop featuring the RTX 5080 GPU. You can purchase an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is exceptional for a well-engineered and warrantied system capable of delivering smooth 4K gaming at high frame rates. Even more enticing, a recent deal allows you to upgrade this configuration to include an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory for only an additional $100.

In today's market, opting for a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to acquire an RTX 5080 GPU without facing significant markups. Attempting to buy this GPU separately for a DIY build would likely cost nearly as much as the entire prebuilt system. While many prebuilt systems are also marked up, this Alienware deal stands out as an exception.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K

The RTX 5080 is the second-highest-end Blackwell graphics card available, only surpassed by the $2,000 RTX 5090. In our review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE, Jackie notes, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 doesn’t offer a significant performance leap over the RTX 4080, though the enhanced frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance the visual experience in supported games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance upgrade, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."
