A well priced Alienware PC?

If youve been trying to buy an RTX 5080, you already know its nearly impossible to find.

Nvidias new GPU has been selling out instantly, with standalone cards unavailable or listed at outrageous resale prices.

Thats why this deal from Dell is worth a look.

TheAlienware Aurora R16 gaming PC includes an RTX 5080for just $2,399.99 right now.

They’ve been called overpriced, difficult to upgrade, and a bit pants when it comes to airflow.

But Aurora R16 has made some noticeable improvements.

It can be bumped up to 64GB if you need more memory down the line.

RTX 5080 is the real reason to consider this PC.

If youre upgrading from an RTX 30-series card or older, youll see a big improvement.

The main issue is availability.

Alienware has also stepped up its cooling with a 240mm liquid cooler, which is a welcome improvement.

That said, airflow isnt as optimized as it would be on a custom-built PC with multiple intake fans.

The 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum PSU is more than enough, pumping stable power delivery for high-performance gaming.

Its not perfect, but considering the state of the GPU market its a solid option.
