Starting today, Dell is offering a stellar deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, priced at just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This represents one of the most competitive prices currently available for a prebuilt system with an RTX 5080, especially considering the upward price trend since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with this GPU is over $4,000. For those considering building their own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU is nearly impossible, and it would likely cost as much as this entire system.

$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. It also features 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, part of the Meteor Lake series, offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache.

The RTX 5080 is one of three new Blackwell graphics cards that are currently in high demand and 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 the gaming experience in supported titles. However, for gamers with older GPUs looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you're keen on Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
