Starting today, Dell is offering the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC with the new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is exceptionally competitive, especially considering the recent upward trend in prices for RTX 50 series prebuilt systems since their launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU is listed well over $4,000. If you're considering building your own PC, good luck finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU; you'll likely end up spending as much on just the GPU as you would on this fully equipped system.

$2,399.99 at Alienware
This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC comes packed with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU reaches a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. It's cooled effectively 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 is one of three new Blackwell graphics cards released recently, and they're nearly impossible 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 may not be the best upgrade – it offers only a marginal performance increase over the RTX 4080. However, the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance the visual experience in supported games. For gamers with older graphics cards looking for a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a fantastic choice, especially if you're keen on utilizing Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
The initial preorders for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within the first hour of availability. 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 equipped with these GPUs are either out of stock, have increased in price, or are facing extended delivery delays.
