Dell is currently offering one of the most competitive prices on a prebuilt desktop with an RTX 5080 GPU, making it an excellent choice for gamers looking to dive into 4K gaming without breaking the bank. You can snag the Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $2,399.99, shipped. This price point is remarkable for a system that not only promises high frame rates at 4K but also comes with a warranty and solid engineering. But there's an even sweeter deal on the horizon. For only $100 more, you can upgrade to a configuration featuring an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory, setting you back just $2,499.99.

In today's market, securing an RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build would cost nearly as much as this entire prebuilt system, making this deal even more appealing. Most other prebuilt options come with a hefty markup, but this Alienware offer stands out as an exception.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K

The RTX 5080 is the second most powerful GPU in Nvidia's Blackwell lineup, only outdone by the RTX 5090 which costs $2,000. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted that while the performance leap might not be significant enough for those with recent high-end cards, "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."
