The Alienware Black Friday in July sale is now live, and one standout offer is the Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $1,999.99 with free shipping. This promotion began over the July 4 weekend and likely offers the most affordable RTX 5080 prebuilt system you'll find on Amazon Prime Day. The Aurora R16 is a compact, thoughtfully engineered gaming desktop featuring a 240mm AIO liquid cooler, an optimized airflow design, and a robust 1,000W 80Plus Platinum power supply. Currently, purchasing a prebuilt PC is the most cost-effective way to acquire an RTX 5080 GPU without paying a hefty premium. If you were to buy the RTX 5080 separately for a custom build, the graphics card alone could cost around $1,400.

Top Black Friday in July Deal
Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F RTX 5080 Gaming PC (16GB/1TB)
List Price: $2,499.99 – Save 20% – Now $1,999.99 at Alienware
This configuration includes an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 graphics, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz memory, and a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD. It's a customizable model, so you can upgrade the processor, graphics, memory, or storage. The system comes pre-installed with a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling system.
The Core Ultra 7 265F, part of Intel's latest Arrow Lake-S series launched this year, reaches a maximum turbo frequency of 5.3GHz. It features 20 cores and a 36MB L2 cache, making it a versatile choice for gaming, multitasking, and general productivity. For gaming purposes, upgrading to a Core Ultra 9 processor won't deliver noticeable gains.
The GeForce RTX 5080 handles any game in 4K
The RTX 5080 is the second-most powerful Blackwell architecture card, only behind the $2,000 RTX 5090. It outperforms the previous-generation RTX 4080 Super by approximately 5-10%, which is now discontinued. The performance advantage grows in games that support DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, a feature exclusive to Blackwell GPUs. This graphics card delivers exceptional performance for the latest titles at 4K resolution with high settings and ray tracing enabled.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition Review, by Jacqueline Thomas
"If you already own a recent high-end graphics card, upgrading to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 may not be worthwhile—its raw performance isn't significantly ahead of the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does improve visual fluidity in supported games. However, for gamers with older GPUs seeking a major upgrade, the RTX 5080 delivers a substantial boost—especially if you appreciate Nvidia's AI-enhanced features."
