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

Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible 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, particularly as 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 offer exceptionally competitive. Attempting to find a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build could cost you as much as this entire system.

Update: Dell, like other manufacturers, has been affected by tariffs. 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, paired with 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, a Meteor Lake processor, reaches a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, featuring 20 cores and a 30MB cache. The system is cooled efficiently with a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler and is supported by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is part of the new Blackwell series of graphics cards, which have been in high demand and hard to find. In IGN's review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE, Jackie noted, "For those with recent high-end graphics cards, the RTX 5080 may not offer a significant upgrade due to its marginal performance improvement over the RTX 4080. However, the enhanced frame rates provided by DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance the gaming experience in supported titles. Gamers with older GPUs looking for a substantial performance boost will find the RTX 5080 very appealing, especially if they're keen on utilizing Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
