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 for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is one of the most competitive available for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system, especially when compared to other brands that have been increasing prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU is over $4,000. If you're considering building your own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU is nearly impossible, and it would likely cost you as much as this entire system.
Update: Like other manufacturers, Dell has been affected by recent tariffs. With the ongoing stock issues surrounding Blackwell cards, prices on Alienware gaming desktops featuring RTX 50 series GPUs are expected to rise in the near future.
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 packs an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU delivers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, features 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. It's efficiently cooled 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 new Blackwell graphics cards, currently hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from recent years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be a significant upgrade – it doesn't offer a substantial performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the enhanced frame rates from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do improve the gaming experience in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're keen on leveraging 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 RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 were the first to be released, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, the same scarcity applies to prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs. Initially, several systems were available at launch, but now they are either out of stock, have increased in price, or face extended delivery delays.
