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

Dell currently offers one of the best deals on an RTX 5080 equipped prebuilt desktop computer. You can purchase the Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for as low as $2,399.99, including shipping. This price is highly competitive for a well-engineered and warrantied system capable of delivering high frame rates at 4K resolution. However, an even more enticing option has emerged, allowing you to upgrade to an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory for just 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 exorbitant markups. Attempting to source a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build could cost nearly as much as purchasing a complete system. Most prebuilt systems come with a markup, but 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 Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 doesn’t make a lot of sense – it just doesn’t have much of a performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do make things look better in games that support it. However, for gamers with an older graphics card who want a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 absolutely provides – doubly so if you’re comfortable with Nvidia’s AI goodies."
