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 represents one of the most competitive offers for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system on the market, especially considering the upward trend in pricing 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 attractive. For those considering a DIY build, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU is nearly impossible, and the cost could easily match that of this entire system.

$2,399.99 at Alienware
This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, paired with a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, part of the Meteor Lake series, features a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. The system is cooled efficiently 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 three new Blackwell graphics cards that have been released, and they are 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 the best upgrade – it doesn’t offer a significant performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the enhanced frame rates from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do improve 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
