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

Dell is currently offering one of the best deals on a prebuilt desktop equipped with an RTX 5080 GPU. You can purchase the Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is highly competitive for a system designed to deliver smooth 4K gaming at high frame rates. But there's an even more compelling offer available: for only $100 more, you can upgrade to a configuration featuring 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 acquire an RTX 5080 GPU without facing significant markups. Attempting to buy this GPU separately for a DIY build could cost nearly as much as the entire prebuilt system. This particular deal from Dell stands out as an exception to the common trend of inflated prices on prebuilt systems.

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

The RTX 5080 is 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 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."
