Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Now $2,399.99

Starting today, Dell is offering an unbeatable 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 is among the best you'll find for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system, especially considering the upward trend in pricing since the RTX 50 series launch in January. If you're looking for a similar setup from Dell, be prepared to shell out over $4,000. And if you're thinking about building your own PC, good luck finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU without spending a fortune.

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

$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 offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, boasting 20 cores and a 30MB cache. It's efficiently cooled by 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 Nvidia's latest Blackwell series, which has been flying off the shelves since its release. 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 worth the upgrade – it doesn't significantly outpace the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, if you're upgrading from an older card and want a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a fantastic choice, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI features."

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. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 led the charge, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, the same scarcity applies to prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs. Systems available at launch are now either out of stock, pricier, or facing long delivery delays.
