Dell is currently offering one of the most competitive prices on a prebuilt desktop equipped with an RTX 5080. You can snag an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price is a steal for a high-quality, warrantied system that excels at 4K gaming with high frame rates. But there's an even more enticing offer: for an additional $100, you can upgrade to an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory to 32GB.
In today's market, purchasing a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to get your hands on an RTX 5080 GPU without facing a significant markup. Attempting to buy a standalone RTX 5080 for a DIY build could cost almost as much as an entire prebuilt system. Most prebuilts are also marked up, making this Alienware deal stand out.

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 offer a significant performance leap over the RTX 4080. However, the additional frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance the visual experience in supported games. For gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you're keen on Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
