Starting today, Dell is offering an unbeatable deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, now equipped with the latest GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This is a steal, especially considering the skyrocketing prices of other RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt systems since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with the same GPU is over $4,000. And if you're considering building your own PC, good luck finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU at a price that doesn't match this entire system's cost.

Update: Tariffs have affected Dell as well, and with the ongoing stock issues with Blackwell cards, expect the prices of Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs to increase soon.

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

The RTX 5080, one of the new Blackwell graphics cards, is incredibly hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "For gamers with older graphics cards looking for a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're keen on Nvidia’s AI enhancements. However, if you already have a recent high-end card, the RTX 5080 might not offer enough of a leap forward."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial release of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within an hour of preorders opening. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 led the charge, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, the same scarcity affects prebuilt gaming PCs with these GPUs. Initially available at launch, these systems are now either out of stock, more expensive, or facing long delivery times.
