This $1,749 Alienware RTX 5080 gaming PC deal is astonishingly good — save a whopping $730 as prices fall even further on powerful rig with 20-core Intel CPU and 1TB SSD

Dell has been slashing prices on Alienware gaming PCs throughout Black Friday, but it's gone even further for Cyber Monday. Two of its Aurora PCs with Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 graphics cards have just seen a further drop in price, but the affordable option is this Intel-powered rig that's now priced for under $2,000 and for a whopping $730 less than its usual price.

Alienware is a brand that typically sees premium prices, so a discount as big as this one is brilliant to see. The $1,749 sale price on the first model, featuring Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU and 16GB of DDR-5200 RAM, is an absolute steal for under $2,000, with Cyber Monday pushing the price down by $60 compared to the weekend, making it one of the cheapest RTX 5080 PCs you can buy right now.

The 265F is one of Intel's latest CPUs and comes with 20 cores, eight of which are performance cores (good for gaming) with a further 12 efficiency cores, which are good for multi-threaded tasks. This machine also comes with a 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD.

The big focus here, however, is the Nvidia graphics card. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 is the second-best consumer GPU, by performance, that you can buy right now, with a whopping 10,752 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM. It's a 4K-capable gaming GPU with all the goodies, like full ray tracing and multi-frame gen, thanks to DLSS 4 support.

If you need a bit more of a boost, another model features a $2,399 sale price, compared to as high as $3,199 before. That's a drop of $100 since last week, and a total $800 savings overall, making this a seriously good value option to consider if your budget stretches a little further.

For your money, you're getting the same RTX 5080 build and typical Aurora case design, along with a monstrous 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU and 32GB of DDR5 RAM. This memory is faster than the model above, too, as it's DDR-6400, rated for 6,400M/Ts.

Both SKUs feature a 1000W platinum-rated power supply, along with a 240mm liquid cooler with Alienware's AlienFX lighting, which you can customize and control using the Alienware Command Center app. While these are the prices for these configurations, you can customize your rigs to suit your needs, although you will see updated pricing as a result.

You will struggle to find better prices on RTX 5080-powered gaming PCs with these specs for Cyber Monday, especially on the sub-$2000 model. If you're thinking about upgrading your setup, a pre-built rig from a trusted gaming brand like this could be one of your best options, but don't expect these prices to stick around for very long.
