Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Now Available from $2,399

Starting today, Dell is offering the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC featuring the brand-new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This deal represents one of the most competitive prices currently available for a prebuilt system equipped with the RTX 5080, especially as other brands continue to raise their pricing steadily since the launch of the RTX 50 series in January. In fact, the only other Dell system featuring an RTX 5080 is priced at over $4,000. If you're considering building your own PC, good luck finding the RTX 5080 GPU on its own—it could cost nearly as much as this entire fully-equipped system.

Update: Much like other manufacturers, Dell has also been impacted by rising tariffs. With Blackwell GPU stock showing no signs of improvement, it's anticipated that Alienware desktops featuring RTX 50-series GPUs will see further price increases in the near future.

$2,399.99 at Alienware

This high-performance Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop features an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD for fast storage. The current-generation Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU delivers a maximum turbo frequency of 5.3GHz across 20 cores, backed by a generous 30MB cache. Cooling is handled by an efficient 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, while system power is maintained by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum certified power supply.

The RTX 5080 is one of the three newly released Blackwell GPUs now available—though availability remains extremely limited. As noted in our [RTX 5080 FE review], the card may not be a must-have upgrade for those already using a high-end GPU from the previous generation like the RTX 4080, due to relatively modest performance gains. However, thanks to DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation, supported games do benefit from improved visuals and smoother frame rates. For gamers still using older hardware, the RTX 5080 offers a significant leap forward—especially if you're interested in leveraging NVIDIA’s AI-driven enhancements.

RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 GPUs Are Nearly Impossible to Find

The initial wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards launched with overwhelming demand, selling out within the first hour of preorder availability. The top-tier models—the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080—were the first to go, followed shortly by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, the same scarcity applies to prebuilt PCs featuring these powerful new GPUs. Most systems listed at launch are either sold out, marked up significantly, or facing extended shipping delays.
