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 best deals available for a prebuilt system featuring the RTX 5080, especially given the trend of rising prices for similar systems since the RTX 50 series debuted in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU exceeds $4,000, making this deal particularly attractive. If you're considering building your own PC, good luck finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU; the cost could rival that of this complete system.

The RTX 5080 is one of the latest Blackwell graphics cards, which have been in high demand and hard to find. In our review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE, Jackie noted, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from recent years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be the upgrade you need, given its marginal performance improvement over the RTX 4080. However, the enhanced frame rates from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation can significantly enhance the gaming experience in compatible titles. For those with older graphics cards looking for 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 release of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards saw the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 sell out within the first hour of preorders. The RTX 5070 Ti followed suit in February. This scarcity extends to prebuilt gaming PCs featuring these GPUs, which are either out of stock, have increased in price, or are facing long delivery delays.
