Table of Contents
If you’re looking for a more affordable alternative to the astronomically priced RTX 5090 and its prebuilt options, then you’re in the right place.
The RTX 5080 graphics cards are up for grabs at various retailers. The RTX 5080 reviews are in, and while it’s not as punchy as the RTX 5090 on paper, it delivers excellent 4K and 1440p gaming, plus has some impressive improvements with rendering tasks over the RTX 4080. There’s also DLSS 4 which stunned us on games like Cyberpunk 2077 too.

On the prebuilt front, there are seemingly more 5080 options than 5090, at least according to our findings. You’re essentially spoiled for choice, and the price ranges seem a little wider, too, as you don’t necessarily need the absolute top-end components to get the most out of the card.
My most recent research has uncovered a few more RTX 5080 gaming PCs finally hitting Amazon.com. In particular there are a number of options from CyberPowerPC and a few lesser known brands that are well worth checking out. You’ll find them below.
The best RTX 5080 prebuilt gaming PCs we’ve seen so far
CyberPowerPC
CyberPowerPC are one of the best PC builders around, providing a wide range of options to choose from. Right now there are five RTX 5080 gaming PCs listed on Best Buy, all of which have different processors, RAM, and more.
There are two types of 5080 PCs to choose from – Gamer Supreme and Gamer Xtreme VR:
Gamer Supreme
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 5080 16GB
- CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 285K
- RAM: 64GB DDR5 RAM
- Storage: 4TB PCIe 4.0 SSD
- OS: Windows 11 Home
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6
- CyberPowerPC – Gamer Supreme Gaming PC – AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D – 32GB Memory – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16GB – 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD – Black – $2,419.99
- CyberPowerPC – Gamer Supreme Gaming PC – Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF – 32GB RGB Memory – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16GB – 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD – Black – $2,319.99
- CyberPowerPC – Gamer Supreme Gaming PC – AMD Ryzen 9 9950X – 64GB Memory – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16GB – 4TB PCIe 4.0 SSD – Black – $2,769.99
- CyberPowerPC – Gamer Supreme Gaming PC – AMD Ryzen 9 9900X – 32GB Memory – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16GB – 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD – Black – $2,299.99
All of these gaming PCs sit within the $2000 – $3000 bracket. The most expensive is the white Gamer Supreme Gaming Desktop, with the Intel Core Ultra 9, 64GB of RAM, and 4TV SSD – coming in at $2,699.99.
At the lower end, you’ve got the Gamer Supreme Gaming Desktop with the Ryzen 9 9900X, 32GB RAM, and 2TB SSD, which comes in at $2,299.99.
CyberPowerPC is clearly catering to a few different budgets and preferences when it comes to processors too. The Intel Core Ultra series is a good shout to pair with the card, but it’s great to see some AMD options in the mix. The 9 9900X did okay in our testing, but didn’t blow us away and was overshadowed by both the 9950X and current king of gaming CPUs, the 7 9800X3D – boasting 3D architecture that dramatically increases the cache size.
It looks like the max RAM you can get in these is 64GB, but it looks like the Intel options will have the edge in RAM speed, coming in at 6400 megahertz compared to 6000 megahertz for AMD variants.
In terms of design, CyberPowerPC has hit out of the park with these allowing us to peer in and marvel at the components with ease. Personally, I think these have the edge over the ASUS RTX 5080 gaming PC, and look to offer slightly more bang for your buck too.
Gamer Xtreme VR
- GPU: GeForce RTX 5080 16GB
- CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 285K
- Memory: 64GB DDR5 RAM
- SSD: 4TB PCIe 4.0 SSD
- Connectivity: 2 x USB-C 3.1 | 4 x USB-A 3.1 | 4 x USB-A 2.0 | 1 x LAN | WiFi 6 | Bluetooth 5.3 | 7.1 Channel Audio
- OS: Windows 11
All Gamer Xtreme VR RTX 5080 PCs
- CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR Gaming PC, Intel Core Ultra 9 285K 3.7GHz, GeForce RTX 5080 16GB, 64GB DDR5, 4TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, WiFi Ready & Windows 11 Home – $2,699.99
- CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR Gaming PC, Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF 3.9GHz, GeForce RTX 5080 16GB, 32GB DDR5, 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, WiFi Ready & Windows 11 Home – $2,319.99
Both of these RTX 5080 gaming PCs are now listed on Amazon. The first is the stop end model that goes hard on its processor (the top end Intel Core Ultra 9) and ups the RAM to 64GB as well as the SSD to 4TB. This is the option that brings you a little closer the RTX 5090 in terms of performance, but it’s actually starting to creep into its territory in terms of pricing.
The other option is a slightly scaled back, but still good prebuilt. This one features a more mid-range processor, the Core Ultra 7, 32GB of RAM and a smaller 2TB SSD. These are all pretty standard for 5080 prebuilts, and the pricing is bang on here. For me, it makes more sense to go for this for that reason. If you’re spending upwards of $2300, you may as well start looking at lower-end RTX 5090 models instead.
ASUS
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU 16GB
- CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2
- Storage: 2TB SSD
- RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 megahertz
- Connectivity: 4 x DisplayPort 2.1, 1 x HDMI 2.1
- USB ports: 8 x USB-A 2.0, 4 x USB-A 3.2, 1 x USB-A 3.1
Recently, we spotted an ASUS RTX 5080 gaming PC at Best Buy, which is currently the only ASUS model on the site so far. This prebuilt features an Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2 paired alongside the 16GB RTX 5080 graphics card. It has a base clock of 3.9 GHz, boost clock of 5.4 Ghz, and 20 cores + 20 threads.
This line of CPUs is designed for high-performance gaming, content creation, and is built for Ai-enhanced performance. In short, this is an excellent processor to pair with the 5080 for a wide range of uses.
On the storage front, you’re getting 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a substantial 2TB SSD. This is pretty good, but not as much as we’ve seen with some of the RTX 5090 prebuilds, some of which are offering a massive 196GB of RAM and a 6TB SSD.
Interestingly, or perhaps disappointingly, it features Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. This is quite a surprise considering Wi-Fi 7 is slowly becoming the standard, and I’d expect at least Wi-Fi 6e at this stage in the game. Again, this may be a way of keeping the price relatively affordable.
This PC is currently listed at $2,399.99 on Best Buy, which compared to RTX 5090 models we’ve seen is actually a decent price. No release date confirmed just yet, but we expect this to be heading our way on 30th January 2025.
Scan
Scan is an excellent retailer that offers custom and pre-built gaming PCs, and it’s not surprise they have a tonne of RTX 5080 prebuilds waiting to go live.
These come from the 3XS range, where there are a number of different lines to choose from:
- Gamer RTX
- Gamer White RTX
- Flux RTX
- Lignum RTX
- Performance RTX
- Vengeance RTX
- Vengeance White RTX
- Vengeance Extreme RTX
- Vengeance Extreme White RTX
- Hyperion RTX
Each line brings something a little different to the table. For example, the Hyperion range has two options, one with an Intel Core 9 Ultra 285K, and one with an AMD Ryzen 9 9800X3D. Both are paired with top end components from ASUS, so a Z890 and an X870E motherboard respectively. This is also the only line which has a massive 4TB SSD, so we’re expecting this to be one of the most expensive options available.
Other options like the less gaming-looking Flux have ASUS TUF components internally, meaning that it will likely be on the less expensive side, and a good option if you’re watching your budget.
If you’re a gamer, you’ll want to obviously check out the middle ground Gamer RTX PCs, which judging on the motherboards and components (ASUS TUF) will be coming in at a fairly reasonable price. The main thing here is the design itself, which is far more ‘gamer’ orientated than some of the other PCs available. These looks to be more affordable prebuilds that will look epic in your setup.
No prices just yet, but Scan does have an option to notify you when they become available. We’d recommend doing this, to avoid missing out.
Chillblast
- GPU: RTX 5080 16GB
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- Storage: 2TB NVMe SSD
- RAM: 32GB DDR5
- Ports: 2 x USB-C 4 1 x USB 3.2 3 x USB 3.0 4 x USB 2.0 1 x 3.5mm Jack – Line Out 1 x RJ-45 Ethernet
Chillblast offer some excellent gaming PCs with fantastic build quality, plus very highly rated customer service and support – making them an great choice for most people. Like the other brands, it’s already given us a glimpse of its 5080 prebuilt offerings, and there’s a lot to love.
The Forge RTX 5080 gaming PC comes with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, a Gigabyte X870 GAMING X WIFI7 motherboard, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB NVMe SSD – all in a tempered glass, Phanteks Eclipse G400A case.
Features efficient 360mm AIO CPU cooling, with a large radiator and multiple fans to keep components running at their best, and WIFI 7 connectivity, this PC looks to be a solid choice for gamers – although the price is still a mystery.
It’s available to pre-order right now too.
When will RTX 5080 gaming PCs release?
We’re expecting to see RTX 5080 prebuilt PCs release on the same day as the GPU itself – which is 30th January 2025. Exactly when they release is yet to be confirmed, as it’s typically the case that retailers have their own schedules. That being said, when the RTX 4090 came out, desktop PCs looked to roll in a few hours later.
We’d recommend keeping an eye on our where to buy the RTX 5080 page, which will be updated throughout the day.
RTX 5080 gaming PC performance – what to expect?
The RTX 5080 boasts impressive specs, and improves on the RTX 4080 and RTX 4080 Super. Check out our RTX 5080 vs RTX 4080 and RTX 5080 vs RTX 4080 Super for a more detailed breakdown.
While the differences might not appear as vast as those between the RTX 5090 and RTX 4080, performance should be significantly better thanks to a high CUDA core count, 16GB of GDDR7 memory, instead of GDDR6X, and higher TDP.
Perhaps the biggest advantage the 5080 will have over the 40-series is DLSS 4 and multi-frame-generation. While DLSS 4 will be coming to the 40-series eventually, multi-frame generation is exclusive to the 50-series, and can result in impressively high frame rates at higher resolutions than when compared to DLSS 3 and DLSS 3.5.
We’d recommend watching Nvidia’s short video below to see the improvements DLSS 4 brings to the table for yourself with Cyberpunk 2077.
Should you buy or build an RTX 5080 gaming PC?
These gaming PCs look to be sitting between the $2000 – $3000 range from what we’ve seen, which is a serious investment. Here’s a few reasons for and against buying one, which you may want to factor into your decision.
- Near top end performance, but around $1000 cheaper than RTX 5090 PCs.
- Easier to purchase on launch than an RTX 5080 GPU.
- Saves you time sourcing multiple components, and reduces delays.
- Typically you’ll find brilliant customer support
- Loads of options available with different CPUs, motherboards, SSDs, and cases.
- RTX 5090 32GB is arguably overkill for most people, especially if not gaming in 4K much.
- Models with more RAM and SSDs could be skirting into RTX 5090 prebuilt price territory.
- Lower-end components more likely to be found in RTX 5080 builds than RTX 5090.
- Prebuilt cases can be low quality from time to time.
- Not particularly customizable from a component perspective.
- Guaranteed to be more expensive than if you source the components yourself, especially if pre-owned.
- You may miss out on the rewarding process and community support of building a PC from scratch.
Overall, whether you choose to buy a prebuilt or build one yourself, it’s really up to you. Generally speaking, builds are more challenging and time consuming, but cheaper and allow for more customization in the future. Prebuilds are easy, straight-forward solutions that get you going in no time and skip the challenges (and pitfalls) of building a PC from scratch.
