Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Now $2,399.99

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, with free shipping included. This is one of the most competitive prices currently available for a prebuilt system featuring an RTX 5080 GPU, especially considering the steady price increases across other brands since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the only other prebuilt option with an RTX 5080 GPU is priced over $4,000. Additionally, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU to build your own DIY PC is a challenge, likely costing as much as this complete system.

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

The RTX 5080 is one of the three new Blackwell graphics cards currently available, though finding one is nearly impossible. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be a compelling upgrade – it doesn't significantly outperform the RTX 4080, though the additional frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance the visual experience in supported games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
