This Alienware Aurora gaming PC is now just $2,399.99, a huge price drop of $600 over its list price, and one that will save you 20% in total. The price of this PC has only dropped this low twice before, and we’ve not seen prices this good for an RTX 5080-powered Alienware PC since the sales in November.

This pre-built PC features an ace up its sleeve – an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080. The second most powerful consumer GPU on the market right now, according to our GPU benchmarks, the RTX 5080 is equipped with 10,752 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM. This beast of a card can easily handle 4K gameplay, delivering high frame rates with added functionality like DLSS 4, able to help you max out your graphics settings.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285 CPU in this build, meanwhile, features 24 cores, eight of which are performance cores, which are optimized for high-performance gaming, with a further 16 efficient cores for multi-threaded tasks. This is the locked version of this particular CPU, compared to the overclockable 285K, with the 285 non-K featuring a lower clock speed of 2.5 GHz, which can boost up to 5.6 GHz. While this can’t really compete with top-spec AMD rivals like the 9800X3D, the raw power of the RTX 5080 does help to heavily compensate.

So, too, does the RAM included in this build: 32GB of DDR5 memory, which, given the NAND flash pricing crisis, is a nice surprise for a PC at this price point with these specs. 32GB leaves you plenty of RAM for the demands of 4K gameplay, making sure you don’t run into stutter-inducing bottlenecks or memory swaps while you’re gaming or browsing the web. A 1TB SSD, meanwhile, should leave you with enough space for some big game installs and a whole lot of indies.

The $2,399.99 sale price for this pre-built Alienware gaming PC isn’t one you should miss. Amazon’s limited-time deal here is an anomaly that nets you a pre-built PC with specs that beat its rivals at this price point, so if you’re looking for a powerful rig that will manage 4K gaming for years to come at a brilliant price, you’ll want to jump on this one quickly.
