Cyber Monday deals are here, and one from Dell slashes the cost of an RTX 5080 off a pre-built gaming PC. The Alienware Area-51 Gaming Desktop is now $1,050 off.
That specific model features an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor. It also has 64GB of DDR5 RAM and a 4TB SSD. With those specs, you can enjoy the best PC games in 4K or drop down to 1440p at a blistering refresh rate.
As NVIDIA's flagship GPU, the RTX 5080 promises excellent performance. It's a great choice for 4K gaming, especially for those who want to avoid the ludicrous price of the RTX 5090.
