Alienware Has the Least Expensive RTX 5080 Gaming PC Deal for Cyber Monday, Cheaper Than Black Friday
This Cyber Monday, Dell’s Alienware brand has made headlines by offering an unbeatable deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the powerful RTX 5080 graphics card. Priced at just $1,750, this prebuilt gaming rig is a significant markdown from its Black Friday price of $1,815. Equipped with cutting-edge components, including an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD, the Aurora R16 is designed to meet the demands of modern gaming. Notably, this configuration is customizable, allowing gamers to enhance their setup with additional RAM or a more powerful CPU for an extra cost, making it an appealing option for those who want to tailor their systems to their gaming needs.
The RTX 5080 GPU is a standout feature of this gaming PC, renowned for its exceptional performance in 4K gaming. It ranks among the fastest graphics cards currently available, surpassed only by the pricier RTX 5090 and the now-discontinued RTX 4090. With support for Nvidia’s DLSS 4 technology, which enables multi-frame generation, gamers can enjoy high settings and ray tracing in demanding titles like “Doom: The Dark Ages” and “Battlefield 6” without compromising on visual fidelity. For those looking to future-proof their gaming experience, the option to upgrade to a more powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and increase RAM to 32GB for an additional $500 is a wise investment, especially as the price of DDR5 RAM continues to rise.
This Cyber Monday deal from Alienware not only highlights the brand’s commitment to providing high-performance gaming solutions at competitive prices but also reflects a broader trend in the gaming industry where top-tier hardware becomes more accessible to a wider audience during major sales events. With the Aurora R16, gamers can expect a robust and reliable machine that can handle the latest titles with ease, all while taking advantage of significant savings during this shopping season. For those interested in exploring more of Alienware’s Cyber Monday offerings, a range of deals is available that cater to various gaming preferences and budgets.

Dell (Alienware) offered the best price on a prebuilt RTX 5080 gaming PC for Black Friday. But guess what, it’s actually
lower
in price for
Cyber Monday
. That’s right, Dell is currently offering an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC
starting at just $1,750
(it was $1,815 on Friday). It’s well equipped with a current generation 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 point, but this Cyber Monday deal totally flips the script.
Cyber Monday Deal: Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC
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.
The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K
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
