Dell's upgraded configuration delivers even better value - for just $100 more, you get an 18-core Core Ultra 9 285 CPU (boost to 5.6GHz) and double the RAM (32GB). This makes the higher-tier model the smarter choice for serious gamers.

The RTX 5080 dominates 4K gaming with excellent performance in the latest AAA titles. While its raw performance gain over the 4080 is modest, new DLSS 4 technology delivers substantially better image quality in supported games. This makes it an excellent upgrade for users still on 3000-series or older GPUs.

Prebuilt systems currently offer the most cost-effective way to acquire an RTX 5080, as standalone GPU prices remain inflated. Dell's Alienware configuration provides strong value with proper cooling, warranty coverage, and no-obligation financing options.
