Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the latest GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, priced at just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This price point is remarkably competitive, especially considering the upward trend in prices for RTX 50 series-equipped systems since their launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU is listed at over $4,000. For those considering a DIY build, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost as much as this fully assembled system.

$2,399.99 at Alienware

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC comes packed with 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, a part of the Meteor Lake series, offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache, ensuring top-notch performance. The system is efficiently cooled with a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler and powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The GeForce RTX 5080 is one of the three new Blackwell graphics cards currently on the market, which are notoriously difficult to find. In IGN's review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE, Jackie noted that "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 doesn’t make a lot of sense – it just doesn’t have much of a performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do make things look better in games that support it. However, for gamers with an older graphics card who want a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 absolutely provides – doubly so if you’re comfortable with Nvidia’s AI goodies."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, including the high-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out within an hour of preorders opening. The RTX 5070 Ti was released shortly after in February. Similarly, prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs are either sold out, have increased in price, or are facing extended delivery delays.
