Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, equipped with the powerful new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 shipped. This is one of the most competitive prices available for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system, especially considering the upward price trend since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest prebuilt with an RTX 5080 GPU is priced over $4,000. Attempting to find a standalone RTX 5080 GPU to build your own DIY PC could cost you nearly as much as this entire system.
Update: Like other manufacturers, Dell has been affected by tariffs. Given the ongoing stock issues with the Blackwell cards, prices for Alienware gaming desktops featuring RTX 50 series GPUs are anticipated to rise soon.

The RTX 5080 is one of the three new Blackwell graphics cards currently available, though they are incredibly 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 extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance the visual experience in supported games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you appreciate Nvidia's AI enhancements."
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
The initial batch of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within the first hour of preorders. 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 are also scarce, with many systems either sold out, increased in price, or facing extended delivery delays.
