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

Starting today, Dell is offering an exceptional deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, now equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, priced at just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This is one of the most competitive prices available for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system, especially noteworthy given the general upward trend in pricing since the RTX 50 series debuted in January. Comparatively, the only other RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt at Dell is listed at over $4,000, making this a standout offer. For those considering a DIY approach, securing a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost as much as this fully assembled system.

Update: Dell, like other manufacturers, has been affected by recent tariffs. With the supply of Blackwell cards showing no signs of improvement, anticipate a rise in the prices of Alienware gaming desktops featuring RTX 50 series GPUs in the near future.

Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F RTX 5080 Gaming PC

$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, complemented by 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, part of the Meteor Lake lineup, offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. It's cooled efficiently with a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and the system is supported by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is one of the three newly released Blackwell graphics cards, which have been in high demand and scarce supply. 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 offer significant performance gains over the RTX 4080. However, the additional frames provided by DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance gameplay in supported titles. For gamers upgrading from older GPUs and interested in Nvidia’s AI enhancements, the RTX 5080 is a compelling choice."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial preorder phase for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards saw the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 sell out within the first hour. The RTX 5070 Ti followed suit in February. This scarcity extends to prebuilt systems featuring these GPUs, many of which are now either sold out, have increased in price, or are facing extended delivery times.
