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

Dell is currently offering one of the most competitive prices on a prebuilt desktop computer equipped with an 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 exceptional for a well-engineered, warrantied system capable of delivering high frame rates in 4K gaming. However, an even more enticing deal has just surfaced: 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 get your hands on an RTX 5080 GPU without facing steep markups. Attempting to source a 5080 GPU for a DIY build could cost nearly as much as an entire prebuilt system. This Alienware offer stands out as one of the few not inflated in price.

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

The RTX 5080 stands as the second highest-end Blackwell graphics card, only outclassed 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 be the upgrade you need – its performance lead over the RTX 4080 is marginal, though the enhanced frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do improve gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia's AI enhancements."
