Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Now Available from $2,399

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 shipping included. This price point is exceptionally competitive for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system, especially given the upward trend in pricing since the RTX 50 series launch in January. Comparatively, other prebuilt systems with the same GPU at Dell are priced over $4,000, making this a standout offer. For those considering a DIY build, sourcing a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost as much as this entire system, highlighting the value of this deal.

Update: Dell, like other manufacturers, has been impacted by recent tariffs. With ongoing stock issues surrounding the Blackwell cards, prices for Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs are anticipated to increase soon.

$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, part of the Meteor Lake family, offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. The system is kept cool with a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler and is supported by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is one of the new Blackwell series GPUs, which have been notoriously hard to find since their release. In IGN's review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE, 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 the upgrade – it doesn't offer a significant performance improvement over the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, if you're upgrading from an older GPU, the RTX 5080 delivers a substantial performance boost, particularly with Nvidia's AI enhancements."

The initial preorders for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, including the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out within an hour. The RTX 5070 Ti followed in February, facing similar high demand. Prebuilt gaming PCs with these GPUs have also been affected, with many systems either sold out, increased in price, or facing extended delivery times.
