Starting today, Dell is offering the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC featuring the brand-new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This deal represents one of the most competitive prices currently available for a prebuilt system equipped with the RTX 5080. Considering that other brands have steadily increased their pricing since the launch of the RTX 50 series in January, this offer stands out as a strong value. In fact, the only other Alienware system at Dell featuring the same GPU starts at over $4,000. If you're thinking about building your own rig, good luck finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU—it may cost you nearly as much as this entire high-performance system.
Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC – Just $2,400
Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F + RTX 5080 Gaming PC
- Price: $2,399.99 at Alienware
This powerful Alienware Aurora R16 desktop features an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The current-generation Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU delivers up to a 5.3GHz max turbo frequency across its 20 cores and 30MB cache. It's efficiently cooled by a premium 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling system, while the full system is powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum-certified power supply unit.
The RTX 5080 is one of the three latest Blackwell-based graphics cards released—though they remain extremely difficult to find. As noted in our *Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE* review, "If you already own a high-end GPU from the past couple of years, the RTX 5080 might not be worth the upgrade—it doesn't deliver a massive performance leap over the RTX 4080. However, DLSS 4’s Multi-Frame Generation does provide noticeable visual improvements in supported titles. On the flip side, if you're upgrading from an older generation, the RTX 5080 offers a significant boost in performance—especially if you’re interested in Nvidia's AI-driven features."
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Nearly Impossible to Find
The initial wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs launched with preorder options, but they sold out within the first hour. The top-tier models—the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080—were the first to drop, followed shortly by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, both standalone GPUs and prebuilt systems featuring these next-gen cards are now either sold out, marked up significantly, or facing extended shipping delays.
