Alienware’s Black Friday in July Sale is now live, and one standout deal is the Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC priced at just $2,099.99 with free shipping. This marks a $250 discount from the previous best price on this configuration and ranks among the most competitive deals available for any prebuilt RTX 5080 system.

The Alienware Aurora R16 is a meticulously designed, compact powerhouse featuring a 240mm AIO liquid cooling solution, optimized airflow architecture, and a robust 1,000W 80Plus Platinum-certified power supply. In today’s GPU market, purchasing a prebuilt system like this is the most reliable way to secure an RTX 5080 without facing steep markups. For context, buying an RTX 5080 GPU separately for a DIY build could cost around $1,400—making this all-in-one package an exceptional value.

Buy at Alienware

This model comes equipped with:

• Intel Core Ultra 7 265F (20 cores, 5.3GHz max turbo, 36MB L2 cache)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU
• 16GB DDR5-5600MHz RAM
• 1TB M.2 SSD
• 240mm AIO liquid cooling

As part of Intel’s latest Arrow Lake-S lineup, the Core Ultra 7 265F delivers excellent performance across gaming, multitasking, and productivity workloads. For most gamers, stepping up to the Core Ultra 9 offers minimal real-world benefits—this CPU hits the sweet spot for high-end performance.

Why the RTX 5080 Stands Out

The RTX 5080 is the second-most powerful GPU in NVIDIA’s Blackwell series, trailing only the $2,000 RTX 5090. It outperforms the discontinued RTX 4080 Super by 5–10%, with even greater gains in titles supporting DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation—exclusive features of Blackwell GPUs. This makes the RTX 5080 ideal for smooth 4K gaming with max settings and ray tracing enabled.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review – Jacqueline Thomas
"If you already own a high-end GPU from the last couple of years, the RTX 5080 may not be a must-upgrade—it doesn’t drastically outpace the RTX 4080. However, the added performance from DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visual fidelity in supported games. For gamers still on older hardware, the RTX 5080 delivers a massive leap in performance, especially if you’re invested in NVIDIA’s AI-driven features."
