For a limited time (possibly today only), Dell Outlet is offering a rare deal on a powerful gaming PC. The Alienware Aurora RTX 5080 gaming PC has dropped to just $1,862 with free shipping. This is only the second time this year that I've seen an Alienware RTX 5080 desktop computer drop below $2,000. Note that this is a "like new (refurbished)" unit and comes with the same 1 year warranty as buying brand new. You better hurry, however, because inventory is extremely limited.
Alienware Aurora RTX 5080 Gaming PC for $1,862
Like new (refurbished) model with 1 year Dell / Alienware warranty
This configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is a 20-core processor with a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz. It's cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling system. The 1,000W 80Plus Platinum certified power supply gives you plenty of headroom for upgrades down the road.
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 recent DLSS 4.5 update has further optimized multi-frame gen and upscaling so you can push really high framerates even in 4K. More games are supporting this feature, including Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Battlefield 6, Death Stranding 2, and Crimson Desert.
