Author:Kristen Update:May 13,2025

Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, now equipped with the latest GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, priced at just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This is a standout offer in the market for an RTX 5080 equipped prebuilt system, especially considering the steady price hikes from other brands since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the only other RTX 5080 equipped prebuilt costs over $4,000. For those considering a DIY build, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU is nearly impossible without spending as much as you would on this entire system.

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC features an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The cutting-edge Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. It's efficiently cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and the system is powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is part of the new Blackwell series of graphics cards, which have been extremely hard to find since their release. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted, "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 – its performance lead over the RTX 4080 is marginal, though the enhanced frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do improve gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're eager to leverage Nvidia’s AI enhancements."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial batch of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within the first hour of preorders. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 were the first to hit the market, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Similarly, prebuilt gaming PCs equipped with these new GPUs have quickly become unavailable, either sold out, increased in price, or facing long delivery delays.
