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

By IsaacMay 20,2025

Dell is now 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 stands out as one of the most competitive for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system, especially given the trend of escalating prices since the RTX 50 series debuted in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU exceeds $4,000. Additionally, securing a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build could cost you as much as the entire Alienware system, making this deal exceptionally attractive.

It's packed with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a speedy 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, with 20 cores and a 30MB cache, ensuring top-tier performance.

The GeForce RTX 5080 is part of the new Blackwell series, which has been incredibly hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted that "For gamers with recent high-end graphics cards, the RTX 5080 might not offer a significant upgrade due to its marginal performance lead over the RTX 4080. However, the RTX 5080's DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visuals in supported games. For those with older GPUs looking for a substantial 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 release of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs saw the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 sell out in the first hour of preorders. The RTX 5070 Ti followed in February, but all models remain scarce. Prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs are similarly hard to come by, either sold out, pricier, or facing long delivery times.
