RTX 5080 becomes available on Amazon but only in pricey prebuilt desktop PCs
If you've been paying attention to the PC market lately, you'll know that Nvidia's latest-generation GeForce RTX 5080 GPUs are nigh-impossible to purchase, with even large system integrators saying they may have to wait weeks or months for stock. At the time of writing, though, at least one pre-built PC brand, Skytech, has RTX 5080-powered systems available on Amazon.
Currently, two versions of the RTX 5080-equipped Skytech Azure gaming PC are available on Amazon: The $2,799.99 build with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, and the $2,899.99 pre-built that pairs the RTX 5080 with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
Another system integrator, Continuum, also has RTX 5080 systems available for purchase on Amazon, although at considerably higher prices compared to the Skytech systems.
| Brand/SI | Skytech | Skytech | Continuum | Continuum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $2,799.99 | $2,899.99 | $3,399.99 | $3,599.99 |
| RAM | 32 GB unspecified DDR5-6000 | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 32 GB DDR5-5600 | 64 GB DDR5-5600 |
| CPU | Intel Core Ultra 7 265K | Intel Core i9-14900KF | Intel Core i9-14900KF | |
| Storage | 2 TB NVMe SSD | 2 TB NVMe SSD | 1 TB NVMe SSD | 2 TB NVMe SSD |
| Case | Skytech Azure with tempered glass | Skytech Azure with tempered glass | Continuum Micro mATX case | Continuum Micro mATX case |
| Cooling | 360 mm AIO liquid cooling, 6 × 120 mm ARGB fans | 360 mm AIO liquid cooling, 6 × 120 mm ARGB fans | 240 mm AIO, 6 × 120 mm ARGB fans | 240 mm AIO, 6 × 120 mm ARGB fans |
All of the aforementioned systems are cited as in stock on Amazon, and they all feature AIO liquid cooling, which should keep CPU temperatures in check. That said, the Skytech Azure is considerably cheaper, with largely similar specifications, and the case looks less cramped than the one featured in the Continuum Micro, meaning cooling the RTX 5080 should be less of a concern.
Another note is that it has become difficult to recommend Intel Core CPUs from the 13th- and 14th-gen line-up due to concerns of silicon degradation and instability.
