The Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Starts at Just $1,750, Lowest Price of the Year
Dell (Alienware) is offering an RTX 5080 equipped gaming PC that’s priced lower than the best deals I saw during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. For this week only, the Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC starts at just $1,750. It’s well equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU and a fair amount of RAM and storage, but since this is a customizable configuration, you can upgrade specs for an extra cost. Alienware normally commands a higher price than other brands, so this is a great opportunity to stay within budget and still get performance without compromising on quality.
This base configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. You can upgrade to 32GB of RAM for an extra $100. The processor is cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling solution and the entire system is powered by a robust 1,000W 80+ Platinum rated power supply.
Alternatively, for an extra $500, you can upgrade to a more powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and double the memory and storage. You might want to consider getting this config if you don’t plan on doing any upgrades yourself in the future. The upgrade cost is reasonable considering the fact that DDR5 RAM has been surging in price recently.
Performance-wise, the RTX 5080 is no slouch. It’s one of the fastest cards on the market, bested only by the $2,000 RTX 5090 and the discontinued $1,600 RTX 4090. This is a phenomenal card for playing the latest, most demanding games in 4K resolution at high settings and ray tracing enabled. The RTX 5080 supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, which means you can push even more frames out of games that support the technology with minimal visual compromise. Recent games that support it include Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Borderlands 4, Stellar Blade, and Battlefield 6.
