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, now equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point represents one of the most competitive offers for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system on the market, especially considering the upward trend in pricing since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU is over $4,000, making this deal even more attractive. For those considering a DIY build, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost as much as this entire system.

Update: Tariffs have impacted Dell as well, and with the ongoing stock issues surrounding the Blackwell cards, prices for Alienware gaming desktops featuring RTX 50 series GPUs are expected to rise soon.

$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 Meteor Lake CPU offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. It's cooled efficiently 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 part of the new Blackwell series, which has been challenging to find due to high demand. 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 best upgrade – its performance lead over the RTX 4080 is marginal, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a solid choice, especially if you're keen on Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
