Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming PC: Save $400 with RTX 5080 GPU

Dell currently offers one of the most competitive prices on a prebuilt desktop featuring the RTX 5080 GPU. You can purchase an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is a steal for a high-performance system capable of delivering smooth 4K gaming experiences. However, an even more enticing deal has emerged, allowing you to upgrade to an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory for only an additional $100.

In today's market, opting for a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to acquire an RTX 5080 GPU without facing significant markups. Attempting to source this GPU for a DIY build would likely cost nearly as much as purchasing a complete system. While most prebuilt options 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, surpassed only 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."
