Starting today, Dell has launched an Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC featuring the new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, available for just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This is among the most competitive prices currently available for a prebuilt system with the RTX 5080, particularly since competing brands have steadily increased pricing following the RTX 50-series launch in January. The only other Dell prebuilt featuring the RTX 5080 GPU is priced above $4,000. Finding a standalone GPU to build your own custom PC is equally challenging—you're likely to pay nearly as much for just the graphics card as this entire setup.

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming system features an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor, a GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz memory, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The latest Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU delivers a maximum turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and 30MB of cache. It's efficiently cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling solution, and the entire system is supported by a reliable 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.
The RTX 5080 is one of three Blackwell architecture graphics cards currently released—and extremely difficult to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition review, Jackie notes: "If you already own a high-end graphics card from the past couple of years, upgrading to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 may not be worthwhile, as it offers only modest performance improvements over the RTX 4080. However, the additional frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance visual quality in supported titles. For gamers with older GPUs seeking a meaningful performance upgrade, the RTX 5080 delivers a clear advantage—especially if you appreciate Nvidia’s AI-powered features."
The initial wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards was available for pre-order and sold out within the first hour. The first models released were the two highest-tier GPUs: the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080. The RTX 5070 Ti followed in February. Unfortunately, prebuilt gaming PCs equipped with these new GPUs face similar availability issues. While several models were listed at launch, they are now either out of stock, priced significantly higher, or facing extended shipping delays.
