The Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Is Now Available for Just $2,399.99

Dell is offering an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the coveted GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This represents one of the best prices currently available for an RTX 5080 pre-built system, especially considering other brands have significantly increased prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. Dell's only other RTX 5080 pre-built option costs over $4,000. Finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build is nearly impossible and would likely cost as much as this entire system.

The cutting-edge Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU delivers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, packing 20 cores and a substantial 30MB cache.

The RTX 5080 is one of three newly released Blackwell graphics cards (currently extremely difficult to acquire). As noted in our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, while not offering a massive performance leap over the RTX 4080 for those already owning high-end hardware, it provides a significant upgrade for gamers with older GPUs, particularly when utilizing Nvidia's AI-enhanced features like DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation.

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs: A Scarce Commodity

The initial wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within an hour of pre-orders opening. The top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 were the first to launch, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. This scarcity extends to pre-built PCs equipped with these GPUs. Many systems initially listed are now out of stock, have seen price increases, or face extended delivery delays.
