Dell is currently offering one of the most competitive prices on a prebuilt desktop computer equipped with an RTX 5080. You can snag an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for as low as $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is exceptional for a well-engineered, warrantied system capable of delivering high frame rates in 4K gaming. However, a superior deal has just emerged, allowing you to upgrade to 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 get your hands on an RTX 5080 GPU without facing exorbitant markups. Attempting to purchase a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build could cost nearly as much as this entire system. While most prebuilts come with their own markups, this particular offer stands out as an exception.

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

The RTX 5080 stands 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 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."
