Starting today, Dell is offering the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for an unbeatable price of just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This deal stands out as one of the best values currently available for a prebuilt system equipped with the RTX 5080 GPU, particularly when compared to other brands that have been steadily increasing their prices since the RTX 50 series was launched in January. For perspective, the only other RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt available from Dell is priced over $4,000. If you're considering building your own PC, good luck finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU; it's likely to cost as much as this fully assembled system.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, part of the Meteor Lake family, features a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. It's kept cool by a robust 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and the system is powered by a reliable 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.
The RTX 5080 is one of three new Blackwell graphics cards that have hit the market, though they're extremely 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 the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 may not be a game-changer – it doesn't significantly outperform the RTX 4080. However, the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance the gaming experience in supported titles. For gamers with older GPUs looking for a substantial performance upgrade, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially if you're keen on 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 an hour of preorders opening. The lineup began with the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, prebuilt gaming PCs featuring these new GPUs are also in short supply, either out of stock, experiencing price hikes, or facing extended delivery times.
