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

Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible 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 an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system, especially noteworthy given the upward trend in prices for other brands since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the only other comparable prebuilt with an RTX 5080 GPU is listed for over $4,000. For those considering a DIY build, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU at a reasonable price is nearly impossible, making this entire system a cost-effective solution.

Update: Like other manufacturers, Dell has been affected by tariffs. With the ongoing stock challenges for Blackwell cards, prices on Alienware gaming desktops featuring RTX 50 series GPUs are expected to rise soon.

Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC for $2,400

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

For $2,399.99 at Alienware, you can grab this powerful Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC. It's powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU and a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, alongside 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM and a 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. The system is cooled efficiently with a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler and is supported by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is one of three new Blackwell graphics cards that have been released, and they're incredibly 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 the upgrade you're looking for – it doesn't significantly outperform the RTX 4080. However, the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation can enhance the gaming experience in supported titles. For those with older GPUs looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you're interested in Nvidia's AI enhancements."
