Dell currently offers one of the most competitive prices on a prebuilt desktop featuring an RTX 5080 GPU. You can grab an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is exceptional for a system designed to deliver high frame rates at 4K resolution. However, an even more compelling deal has emerged. For only $100 more, you can upgrade to a configuration with an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory, bringing the total to $2,499.99.
In today's market, opting for a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to obtain an RTX 5080 GPU without facing the steep markups seen on individual components. Attempting to purchase an RTX 5080 for a DIY build would likely cost nearly as much as an entire prebuilt system. The Alienware Aurora R16 stands out as an exception to the usual price hikes.

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. 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."
