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 point is exceptional for a high-performance system designed for 4K gaming at high frame rates. However, an even more compelling offer 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 get your hands on an RTX 5080 GPU without facing significant markups. Attempting to buy this GPU separately for a DIY build would likely cost nearly as much as the entire prebuilt system. While many prebuilt systems are also marked up, this particular deal stands out as an exception.

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 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."
