Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Now Available from $2,399

Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, 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 prebuilt system on the market, especially as other brands have been increasing their prices since the RTX 50 series debuted in January. Comparatively, the next cheapest RTX 5080-equipped PC at Dell exceeds $4,000. If you're considering building your own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU is a challenge, and you might end up spending as much on the GPU alone as on this fully assembled system.

Update: Dell, like other manufacturers, has been affected by recent tariffs. With the ongoing stock issues surrounding the Blackwell cards, prices for Alienware gaming desktops featuring RTX 50 series GPUs are anticipated to rise soon.

Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC for $2,400

Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F RTX 5080 Gaming PC

Priced at $2,399.99 at Alienware, this Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC packs 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 features a 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 part of the new Blackwell series, which has been nearly impossible to find since its launch. 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 might not be a significant upgrade – it offers a modest performance increase over the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance gameplay in compatible titles. However, if you're using an older graphics card and seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, particularly if you're interested in leveraging Nvidia's AI technologies."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial release of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within the first hour of preorders. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 were the first to hit the market, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Similarly, prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs have quickly vanished from stock, with some models either increasing in price or facing long delivery delays.
