Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, now equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, priced at just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This is one of the most competitive prices available for a prebuilt system featuring the RTX 5080, especially as other brands have been steadily increasing their prices since the RTX 50 series was launched in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt PC is over $4,000, making this deal even more attractive. If you're considering building your own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU is a challenge, and it might cost you as much as this entire system.
Update: Like other manufacturers, Dell has been affected by tariffs, and with the stock of Blackwell cards not improving, prices on Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs are expected to rise soon.
Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC for $2,400
Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F RTX 5080 Gaming PC
For $2,399.99 at Alienware, this Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC is a powerhouse, featuring an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The current-gen Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. It's cooled efficiently by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and the system is powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.
The RTX 5080 is one of the three new Blackwell graphics cards that have hit the market, though they're notoriously hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be the upgrade you're looking for – it doesn't offer a significant performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance the gaming experience in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
The initial wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within the first hour of preorders. The highest-end models, the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, were released first, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, the same scarcity applies to prebuilt gaming PCs equipped with these new GPUs. Systems that were available at launch are now either out of stock, have increased in price, or are facing extended delivery delays.
