Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the latest GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This is an exceptional price for a prebuilt system with an RTX 5080, especially given the steady price increases across other brands since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the only other option with this GPU is priced over $4,000. If you're considering building your own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU is nearly impossible, and the cost would likely match this entire system's price.

Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F RTX 5080 Gaming PC

$2,399.99 at Alienware

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU and a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, complemented by 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU reaches a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. The system is cooled efficiently with a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler and powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is part of the new Blackwell series, which has been extremely hard to find since its release. 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 worth it due to its modest performance lead over the RTX 4080. However, its DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visuals in supported games. For gamers with older graphics cards seeking a significant upgrade, 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

Similarly, prebuilt gaming PCs with these GPUs are either out of stock, have increased in price, or face long delivery delays.
