Dell is currently offering one of the best deals on a prebuilt desktop equipped with an RTX 5080 GPU. You can snag an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price is exceptional for a high-quality, warrantied system capable of handling 4K gaming with high frame rates. However, an even more enticing deal has emerged: 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, purchasing a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to obtain an RTX 5080 GPU without facing a significant markup. Attempting to buy this GPU for a DIY build could cost nearly as much as an entire prebuilt system. While many prebuilt PCs are overpriced, this Alienware deal stands out as a genuine bargain.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K
The RTX 5080 is the second highest-end Blackwell graphics card available, surpassed only by the $2,000 RTX 5090. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie writes that "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."
