Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Now Available from $2,399

Starting today, Dell is offering a fantastic deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This price point represents one of the best deals available for an RTX 5080 equipped prebuilt system, especially considering the upward trend in 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 DIY PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost you as much as this entire system.

Update: Like many other companies, Dell has been affected by tariffs. Given the ongoing stock issues with the Blackwell cards, we can expect prices on Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs to increase in the near future.

Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F RTX 5080 Gaming PC

Priced at $2,399.99 at Alienware, this Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC is a powerhouse. It features an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The current-gen Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU boasts an impressive max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. The system is kept cool by a robust 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler and powered by a generous 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is one of the three new Blackwell graphics cards released and has been incredibly hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted, "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 – it doesn't significantly outperform the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance the gaming experience in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're on board with Nvidia’s AI features."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within the first hour of preorders. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 were the first to hit the market, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Similarly, prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs are either sold out, have increased in price, or are facing extended delivery delays.
