Starting today, Dell is offering an exceptional deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the newly launched GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This price point is among the best available for a prebuilt system with an RTX 5080, especially given the consistent price increases seen across other brands since the RTX 50 series debuted in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU is over $4,000, making this deal a standout. If you're considering building your own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost you as much as this entire system.

The RTX 5080 is one of three new Blackwell graphics cards currently on the market, yet they're nearly impossible 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 best upgrade – it doesn't offer a significant performance advantage over the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, if you're using an older GPU and seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
The initial preorders for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within an hour of launch. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 were the first to hit the market, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Similarly, prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs are either sold out, have increased in price, or are facing extended delivery delays.
