Dell is offering an incredible deal: an Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC featuring the coveted GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This represents one of the best prices currently available for a pre-built system with this powerful GPU, especially considering other vendors have significantly increased prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. Dell's only other RTX 5080-equipped pre-built costs over $4,000. Finding a standalone RTX 5080 for a DIY build is nearly impossible, and would likely cost as much as this entire system.

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC boasts an impressive array of components: an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The cutting-edge Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU features a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a substantial 30MB cache. A robust 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler keeps temperatures in check, and the system is powered by a reliable 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.
The RTX 5080 is one of three newly released Blackwell graphics cards (currently extremely difficult to acquire). As noted in our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, while the performance upgrade over the RTX 4080 isn't massive, the added frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation significantly enhance visuals in compatible games. For gamers with older graphics cards, the RTX 5080 offers a substantial performance boost, especially when utilizing Nvidia's AI features.
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
The initial release of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, specifically the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out instantly. The RTX 5070 Ti followed suit shortly after in February. This scarcity extends to pre-built PCs equipped with these GPUs; many systems initially listed are now out of stock, have seen price increases, or face extended delivery delays.
