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

Starting today, Dell is offering an unbeatable 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 best you'll find for a prebuilt system featuring the RTX 5080, especially since other brands have been steadily increasing their prices following the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with the same GPU is priced over $4,000. If you're considering building your own PC, good luck finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU; it's likely to cost as much as this entire system.

Update: Like many other companies, Dell has been affected by tariffs. With the stock situation of the Blackwell cards showing no signs of improvement, expect prices on Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs to rise in the near future.

The current-gen Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, boasting 20 cores and a 30MB cache.

The RTX 5080 is one of three new Blackwell graphics cards on the market (and notoriously hard 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 might not be worth the upgrade – it doesn’t significantly outperform the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visuals in supported games. However, if you're rocking an older GPU and seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're keen on 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, the top-tier models, were released first, 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.
