You can snag an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for as low as $2,399.99 with shipping included. This price point is highly attractive for a well-engineered, warrantied system capable of delivering high frame rates in 4K gaming. However, an even more enticing deal has just surfaced. For an additional $100, you can upgrade to an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory, bringing the total to $2,499.99.
In today's market, purchasing a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to obtain an RTX 5080 GPU without facing inflated prices. Attempting to buy this GPU for a DIY build could cost nearly as much as an entire prebuilt system. While many prebuilts come with markups, this particular offer 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, 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 might not offer a compelling upgrade – it doesn't significantly outpace the RTX 4080, though the additional frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance the visual experience in supported games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia's AI features."
