Dell is currently offering one of the most competitive prices on a prebuilt desktop featuring the powerful RTX 5080 GPU. You can grab the Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is exceptional for a machine designed to handle 4K gaming with high frame rates, backed by a solid warranty. But the deal gets even sweeter; for an additional $100, you can upgrade to an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory, bringing the total to $2,499.99.
In today's market, securing an RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build is challenging without facing significant markups. The cost of the GPU alone can approach that of a complete prebuilt system. Fortunately, this Alienware offer stands out as an exception, providing great value without the usual price inflation.

Dell has recently discounted an upgraded version of the Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC, making it an even better deal despite the $100 increase. This configuration features an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 CPU and 32GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM. The Core Ultra 9 285 CPU provides a 300MHz faster turbo frequency and 4 additional cores compared to the Intel Core Ultra 7 265F.
The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU is capable of running any game at 4K resolution. As the second highest-end Blackwell graphics card, it's only surpassed by the $2,000 RTX 5090. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted, "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."
