Dell is currently offering an unbeatable deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 equipped with an RTX 5080 GPU, making it one of the most cost-effective prebuilt desktop computers on the market. You can snag this powerful gaming PC for just $2,399.99, including shipping, which is a fantastic price for a system designed to handle 4K gaming at high frame rates. However, an even more compelling offer has just surfaced: for only $100 more, you can upgrade to a version with an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory.
In today's market, purchasing a prebuilt gaming PC is the only practical way to get your hands on an RTX 5080 GPU without facing a significant markup. Attempting to buy this GPU for a DIY build would likely cost almost as much as an entire prebuilt system. Fortunately, this Alienware deal stands out as an exception to the usual high prices.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K
The RTX 5080 is the second-highest-end Blackwell graphics card, only outdone by the $2,000 RTX 5090. According to Jackie's review in our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be the best upgrade – it doesn’t significantly outperform the RTX 4080, although the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance the visual experience in supported games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you appreciate Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
