Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming PC with RTX 5080 GPU Now $400 Off

Dell is currently offering one of the most competitive prices on a prebuilt desktop computer equipped with an RTX 5080. You can purchase an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price represents excellent value for a well-designed, warrantied system capable of delivering high frame rates in 4K gaming. However, an even more compelling deal has emerged: for an additional $100, you can upgrade this configuration to include an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory to 32GB.

In today's market, opting for a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to obtain an RTX 5080 GPU without facing a significant markup. Attempting to source an RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build could cost nearly as much as an entire prebuilt system. While many prebuilt systems are also priced higher, this particular offer stands out as an exception.

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."
