Dell is currently offering one of the most competitive prices on a prebuilt desktop computer equipped with an RTX 5080. You can grab an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This is a fantastic deal for a high-performance system that's engineered for 4K gaming at high frame rates. But wait, there's an even more compelling offer: you can upgrade this setup to include an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory for only an additional $100.

In today's market, purchasing a prebuilt gaming PC is the best way to get your hands on an RTX 5080 GPU without facing exorbitant markups.

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

The RTX 5080 stands as the second highest-end Blackwell graphics card, only surpassed by the $2,000 RTX 5090. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted, "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."
