Gamers Stunned! RTX 5080 PC Price Slashed - Is This Real?!

Okay, gamers, listen up! If you've been putting off that PC upgrade, now might *seriously* be the time to pull the trigger. Prices on the RTX 5080 are already looking like they're headed north, and whispers in the industry suggest prebuilt systems are going to get even pricier this year. We're talking DDR5 RAM demand through the roof and potential Nvidia production cuts. Not a good combo for your wallet.

But hold on, there's a glimmer of hope! Best Buy is currently running a flash sale that's worth a serious look. For this week only, they've slashed the price of the HP OMEN 35L gaming PC, and it's packing some serious heat. We're talking an RTX 5080 16GB – the *good* stuff – for just $2,219.99 with free shipping. That's after a $480 instant discount. Seriously, this is one of the most affordable RTX 5080 prebuilts I've seen lately. I've been tracking these things for years, and I can tell you, deals like this are becoming increasingly rare.

So what's under the hood besides that glorious RTX 5080? Well, you've got an Intel Core i7-14700F processor, that RTX 5080 with its generous 16GB of VRAM, a hefty 32GB of DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a speedy 1TB PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD. That i7-14700F is no slouch either – a 20-core beast with a max turbo frequency of 5.4GHz. It's more than capable of keeping up with the RTX 5080 and won't bottleneck your gaming experience. Oh, and don't worry about overheating – it's all kept cool with a 240mm liquid cooling solution. Nice touch, HP.

Let's be real, the RTX 5080 is a monster of a card. Its performance is right up there, only really surpassed by the RTX 5090 (which costs an arm and a leg) and the now-discontinued RTX 4090. If you're aiming to play the latest, most graphically demanding games in glorious 4K with all the bells and whistles turned on – high settings, ray tracing, the whole shebang – this is the card you need. And with support for DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, you'll get even smoother frame rates in supported games without sacrificing visual quality. Think Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Borderlands 4, Stellar Blade, and the upcoming Battlefield 6 – these are just a few that are already leveraging the tech. It makes a *huge* difference, trust me.

Honestly, if you're even remotely considering upgrading your gaming rig, now is the time to pounce on this deal. Prices are only going to go up, and this HP OMEN 35L offers killer performance for the price. Don't say I didn't warn you!
