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

Dell is currently offering one of the best deals on a prebuilt desktop equipped with an RTX 5080 GPU. You can grab the Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for as low as $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is highly competitive for a system that's well-engineered, comes with a warranty, and is capable of delivering smooth 4K gaming at high frame rates. But there's an even more compelling offer available now: for just $100 more, you can upgrade to an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory.

In today's market, opting for a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to get your hands on an RTX 5080 GPU without facing hefty markups. If you were to source an RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build, you might end up spending nearly the same amount on just the GPU as you would on a complete prebuilt system. This particular deal stands out because, unlike most other prebuilts, it isn't excessively priced.

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

The RTX 5080 ranks as the second highest-end Blackwell graphics card, 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 might not offer significant improvements – it doesn't outperform the RTX 4080 by much, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance supported games. However, for gamers looking to upgrade from older graphics cards and seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're keen on utilizing Nvidia's AI technologies."
