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 powerful new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point makes it one of the most competitive options on the market for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system, 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.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, part of the Meteor Lake series, offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache.

The RTX 5080 is one of the new Blackwell graphics cards, which have been in high demand and 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 be the best upgrade – it doesn't significantly outperform the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a great choice, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."
