Starting today, Dell is offering an unbeatable deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, now equipped with the powerful new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point represents one of the best values for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system currently on the market, especially considering the steady price increases seen across other brands since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest prebuilt option with an RTX 5080 GPU is priced well over $4,000. If you're considering building your own PC, good luck finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU; it's likely to cost as much as this complete system.

Update: Like other manufacturers, Dell has been affected by recent tariffs. Given the ongoing stock issues with Blackwell cards, expect prices on Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs 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

$2,399.99 at AlienwareThis Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC features 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, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. It's cooled efficiently with 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 part of the new Blackwell series of graphics cards, which have been extremely hard to find since their release. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted that "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be worth the upgrade – it doesn’t offer a significant performance lead over the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visuals in supported games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you're interested in 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 an hour of preorders opening. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 were the first to hit the market, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, the same scarcity applies to prebuilt gaming PCs featuring these new GPUs. Initially listed at launch, these systems are now either out of stock, have increased in price, or are facing extended delivery delays.
