Update: This deal is now expired
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 $2,248 with free shipping. 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. In fact, every other RTX 5080 prebuilt I've written about this year has sold out within 48 hours.
Alienware Aurora RTX 5080 Gaming PC for $2,248
Like new (refurbished) model with 1 year Dell / Alienware warranty
This configuration features some welcome upgrades compared to the base model RTX 5080 that I usually see at this price point. It's equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF is an unlocked 20-core processor with a max turbo frequency of 5.5GHz. 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.
