Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Now $2,399.99

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 shipped. This price point is one of the most competitive you'll find for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system, especially considering the upward trend in pricing since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU is over $4,000. Meanwhile, sourcing a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build is nearly impossible without spending a fortune, making this prebuilt system an excellent value.

The RTX 5080 is one of the new Blackwell graphics cards that have been challenging to find. 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 doesn’t make a lot of sense – it just doesn’t have much of a performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards seeking a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially with Nvidia’s AI enhancements."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial preorders for Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within the first hour of availability. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, the top-tier GPUs in the lineup, were released first, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, the situation is similar for prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs; many are out of stock, have increased in price, or are facing extended delivery delays.
