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

Starting today, Dell is offering an unbeatable deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, equipped with the latest GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 shipped. This is a standout offer, especially given the rising prices of RTX 50 series prebuilts since their launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU is over $4,000, making this deal exceptionally 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: Like other manufacturers, Dell has been affected by tariffs, and with the ongoing stock issues of the Blackwell cards, prices on Alienware gaming desktops featuring RTX 50 series GPUs are expected to increase soon.

$2,399.99 at Alienware

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 current-gen Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, with 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 part of the new Blackwell series, which has been in high demand and difficult to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted that "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 – its performance is similar to the RTX 4080, although DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance supported games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards seeking 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

The initial wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within an hour of preorders opening. The first releases included the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, prebuilt gaming PCs with these GPUs have also been affected, with many systems now out of stock, increased in price, or facing extended delivery delays.
