Starting today, Dell is offering an unbeatable deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, now equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, priced at just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This offer stands out as one of the most competitive prices for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system on the market, especially considering the price surge across other brands following the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the only other prebuilt with an RTX 5080 GPU is listed well over $4,000. For those considering a DIY build, sourcing a standalone RTX 5080 GPU alone could cost as much as this entire system.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, a Meteor Lake processor, reaches a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. It's kept cool with a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and the system is supported by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.
The RTX 5080, part of the new Blackwell series, has been challenging to find due to high demand. 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 might not be the upgrade you're looking for – it doesn’t offer a significant performance leap over the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a great choice, particularly if you're keen on Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The launch began with the high-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Prebuilt gaming PCs featuring these new GPUs have also quickly disappeared from stock, with price increases and extended delivery times becoming common.
