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 shipped. This price point represents one of the best deals available for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system, particularly as other brands 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 could be challenging and costly, potentially matching the price of this entire system.

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC is powered by 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 offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. The system's cooling is handled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and it's powered by a 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is part of the new Blackwell series, which has been extremely hard 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 worth the upgrade – it doesn’t significantly outperform the RTX 4080, though the enhanced frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance gameplay in compatible titles. However, if you're upgrading from an older graphics card and seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia’s AI technologies."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial preorders for Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within an hour of their launch. The first models released were the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Prebuilt gaming PCs with these GPUs are also hard to come by, often out of stock, increased in price, or facing long delivery delays.
