Dell currently offers one of the most competitive prices on a prebuilt desktop featuring the RTX 5080. You can now purchase an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is impressive for a well-engineered and warrantied system capable of delivering high frame rates in 4K gaming. However, an even more compelling deal has emerged. For just $100 more, you can upgrade to an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory, making this an exceptional value.
In today's market, opting for a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to acquire an RTX 5080 GPU without facing hefty markups. Attempting to buy this GPU for a DIY build would likely cost you nearly as much as an entire prebuilt system. While most prebuilt systems are also priced higher, this particular deal 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 outdone 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."
