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

Dell is now offering the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the latest GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, at a compelling price of just $2,399.99, including shipping. This deal stands out as one of the most competitive prices available for a prebuilt system equipped with the RTX 5080, especially when compared to other brands that have been increasing their prices since the RTX 50 series was launched in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option for an RTX 5080-equipped system exceeds $4,000. Attempting to source a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build could cost as much as the entire Alienware system itself.

Update: Like many other manufacturers, Dell has been affected by recent tariffs. Given the ongoing stock issues with the Blackwell cards, prices for Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs are anticipated to rise in the near future.

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

The RTX 5080 is among the three new Blackwell graphics cards released, which are notoriously hard to find. 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 doesn’t offer much of a performance leap over the RTX 4080. However, the additional frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance the gaming experience in supported games. For gamers with older graphics cards seeking a substantial performance upgrade, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you're keen on utilizing Nvidia's AI enhancements."
