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, including shipping. This price point is remarkably competitive, especially given the steady price increases across other brands since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU is over $4,000, making this deal even more appealing. If you're considering building your own DIY PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU might cost you as much as this entire prebuilt system.
Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F RTX 5080 Gaming PC
$2,399.99 at Alienware
This 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 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. It's cooled efficiently by 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 Nvidia's new Blackwell series, which has been notoriously difficult to find since its release. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 doesn’t make a lot of sense – it just doesn’t have much of a performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance visuals in compatible games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, particularly if you're eager to leverage Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
The initial preorders for Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within the first hour. The highest-end models, the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, were released first, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs have also become scarce, either sold out, increased in price, or facing long delivery delays.
