The Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Is Available Starting at $2,399

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 values on the market for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system, especially given the upward trend in pricing across other brands since the RTX 50 series was launched in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU jumps to over $4,000, making this deal particularly attractive. Additionally, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build is nearly impossible, and the cost could easily match that of this fully assembled system.

Update: Recent tariffs have also affected Dell, and with the ongoing stock issues surrounding the Blackwell cards, expect the prices of Alienware gaming desktops featuring RTX 50 series GPUs to rise in the near future.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU boasts an impressive max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. The system is cooled by a robust 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler and powered by a 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.

The RTX 5080 is part of Nvidia's new Blackwell lineup, which has been notoriously difficult 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 lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a great choice, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia's AI enhancements."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The lineup began with the high-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Similarly, prebuilt gaming PCs equipped with these GPUs have either sold out, increased in price, or are facing significant delivery delays.
