Dell is currently offering one of the most competitive deals on a prebuilt desktop featuring the powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU. At just $2,349.99 shipped, you can grab the Alienware Aurora R16 equipped with this next-gen graphics card. This is an excellent value for a fully-integrated system backed by warranty and designed to deliver smooth 4K gaming at consistently high frame rates. Given the current market conditions, purchasing a prebuilt PC like this is arguably the best—and sometimes only—way to get your hands on an RTX 5080 without facing steep scalper markups. Trying to source an RTX 5080 GPU alone for a DIY build could cost nearly as much as this complete system.

This model comes loaded with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor based on the latest Meteor Lake architecture, featuring a maximum turbo frequency of 5.3GHz across 20 cores and a generous 30MB cache. It’s paired with the formidable GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB DDR5-5200 RAM, and a fast 1TB NVMe SSD. The CPU is efficiently cooled via a premium 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, while the entire system is powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply, ensuring stable performance even under heavy load.

For an extra $100, Dell now offers a second configuration featuring the more advanced Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor. This chip delivers a max turbo boost of 5.6GHz across 24 cores, making it especially effective for multitasking, content creation, and applications that benefit from higher thread counts. While gaming performance remains similar to the Ultra 7 in most titles, the Ultra 9 excels in productivity workflows and rendering tasks. It also doubles the system RAM to 32GB and retains the same RTX 5080 GPU and 1TB NVMe SSD combo.
The GeForce RTX 5080 Is Built for 4K Gaming
The RTX 5080 ranks as the second-most powerful GPU in NVIDIA’s Blackwell lineup, sitting just below the flagship RTX 5090. Compared to the previous generation RTX 4080 Super, the 5080 offers around a 5–10% performance uplift. With support for DLSS 4 and its exclusive multi-frame generation technology, the performance gap widens significantly in compatible games, delivering smoother visuals and enhanced responsiveness.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas:
"If you already own a high-end GPU from the last couple of years, the RTX 5080 might not be a compelling upgrade—it doesn't offer a dramatic leap over the RTX 4080. However, DLSS 4's multi-frame generation does provide noticeable visual improvements in supported titles. For gamers still using older hardware, the RTX 5080 represents a substantial performance jump, particularly when combined with NVIDIA's AI-driven enhancements."
