Dell is offering a fantastic deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the coveted GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This represents one of the best prices currently available for an RTX 5080 pre-built system, especially considering other brands have significantly increased prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. Dell's only other RTX 5080 pre-built option costs over $4,000. Finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build is proving extremely difficult and would likely cost as much as this complete system.

The RTX 5080 is one of three newly released Blackwell graphics cards (currently very hard to find). Our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review states that while the performance increase over the RTX 4080 isn't dramatic, the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation significantly enhance visuals in compatible games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards, the RTX 5080 offers a substantial performance upgrade, especially when utilizing Nvidia's AI features.
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
The initial release of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, specifically the high-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out almost instantly. The RTX 5070 Ti followed suit in February. This scarcity extends to pre-built PCs equipped with these GPUs; many systems initially listed are now out of stock, have seen price increases, or are facing significant delivery delays.
