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 is an unbeatable price for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system, especially considering the steep price increases seen across other brands since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next RTX 5080-equipped system jumps to over $4,000, making this deal particularly attractive. For those considering a DIY build, securing a standalone RTX 5080 GPU is nearly impossible without spending a fortune, which could match the cost of this complete system.

$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 current-gen Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU boasts an impressive max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. It's cooled efficiently with 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 one of the new Blackwell graphics cards that have been in high demand and are nearly impossible to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes that "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 may not be worth the upgrade – it doesn't offer a significant performance lead over the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visuals in supported games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, 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
The initial preorders for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within an hour of going live.

Similarly, prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs have either sold out, increased in price, or are facing extended delivery delays.
