Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, equipped with the latest GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This is an unbeatable price for a prebuilt system with this high-end GPU, especially considering that other brands have been increasing their prices 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, good luck finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU without spending as much as you would on 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 featuring RTX 50 series GPUs are expected to rise soon.

$2,399.99 at Alienware

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU and a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, complemented by 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU reaches a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache, ensuring robust performance. It's cooled efficiently by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and the system is supported by a powerful 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is part of the new Blackwell series, which has been extremely difficult to find due to high demand. 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 the upgrade you're looking for, as it doesn't offer a significant performance boost over the RTX 4080. However, the additional frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance the gaming experience in supported titles. For gamers with older GPUs seeking a substantial performance upgrade, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're keen on utilizing Nvidia's AI enhancements."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial preorders for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, including the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out within an hour of their launch. The RTX 5070 Ti followed in February but faced similar stock challenges. Prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs are either out of stock, have increased in price, or are facing extended delivery delays.
