You won't want to wait around to pick up this incredible deal on an RTX 5080 gaming PC from Dell, because Best Buy have knocked $1,390 off the price tag for this Alienware ACT1250 gaming PC, bringing the cost down to just $3,159.99. That's a huge saving on a high-end rig with one of the best GPUs you can buy, alongside a 24-Core Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB SSD for storage.
● Check out this Alienware deal at Best Buy
This is a powerful pre-built that, as it stands, is over $1,000 cheaper at Best Buy right now than buying the same spec from Dell directly. The RTX 5080 is ready for 4K gaming, so expect to hit the high frame rates with this rig, and while gamers aren't in love with Intel Arrow Lake CPUs generally, the 285K is still a formidable option at this price point.
You just won't find as good a sale right now on any gaming PC, at least that we can see. On an Alienware PC, the $1,390 discount makes it a must-buy option if you're looking for an upgrade, because you'll struggle to find a rival that can offer performance like this for less than $4,000. This is a PC that will offer you longevity and will allow you to play games without compromising on performance for years to come.
The main focus of this pre-built gaming PC has to be the graphics card: it's a powerhouse. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 is the second most powerful consumer GPU from the current generation on the market right now, as our GPU benchmarks will confirm. Specs-wise, it comes equipped with 10,752 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM, which are specs that only the RTX 5090 at the very top can beat right now. This is a card that has the power to handle 4K gaming with ease, even with ray tracing. You can expect high frame rates with high and ultra graphics presets enabled, with Nvidia software like DLSS 4 able to help you in the real crunch moments in any game, thanks to multi-frame generation.
Processor-wise, you're getting the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU in this build. It has the 24 cores that we've already mentioned, comprised of eight performance cores, which are best for high-performance gaming. You're also getting 16 efficient cores for multi-threaded tasks with the 285K, too. It comes fully unlocked and fully overclockable, and the 285K's performance cores deliver a standard clock speed of 3.7 GHz, but it boosts up to 5.7 GHz. Admittedly, this Arrow Lake CPU hasn't lit up the world, and has trailed pretty far behind AMD's top-spec alternatives like the 9800X3D. Luckily, the raw power of the RTX 5080 is a formidable presence and will offset that in this build, heavily compensating for any shortcomings.
Elsewhere in this Alienware ACT1250 rig, you're not settling for any compromises. You're getting 32GB of fast DDR5 RAM, which is about what we'd expect from a 4K-capable rig like this, but it does leave you room to upgrade further down the line (at least, once the prices come down). Storage isn't an area you'll be compromising on, either, with 2TB of SSD storage thrown in. That's good enough to cover Windows and several big game installations, or plenty of indies, depending on your preference.
Other goodies include WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support, along with a 2.5G Ethernet port for high-speed networking, so you won't be slowed down by latency dips in-game.
The $3,159.99 sale price for this Alienware ACT1250 gaming PC is an absolute steal for a top-spec machine fitted with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080. That $1,390 saving isn't one you can afford to ignore if you're thinking about upgrading, but we'll be expecting to see this deal sell out fast. If you want it, make sure to get your order in quickly.
