The Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Is Available Starting at $2,399

Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 shipped. This price point represents one of the best deals available for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system, 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. If you're considering building your own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost you as much as this entire system.

Update: Tariffs have impacted Dell as well, and with the ongoing stock issues surrounding the Blackwell cards, prices for Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs are expected to rise soon.

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC is powered by 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, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. It's cooled efficiently by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and the system is supported by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is one of the new Blackwell graphics cards, which have been 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 worth the upgrade – it doesn't offer a significant performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a great choice, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
