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 is one of the most competitive prices available for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system, especially considering the steady price increases from other brands since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the only other prebuilt option with an RTX 5080 GPU is priced over $4,000. Attempting to find a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build might cost you as much as this entire system.
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, paired with 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 efficiently cooled by 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 latest Blackwell graphics cards, which have been notoriously difficult 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 offer a significant enough performance boost to justify the upgrade – its performance is quite similar to the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards seeking a substantial performance leap, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia’s AI features."
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

Similarly, prebuilt gaming PCs featuring these new GPUs are either sold out, have increased in price, or are facing extended delivery delays.
