Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, now equipped with the latest GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99 shipped. This price point is among the best you'll find for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system, especially given the upward trend in prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 will set you back over $4,000. And if you're considering a DIY build, good luck finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU without spending as much as you would on this complete system.

The RTX 5080 is one of three new Blackwell graphics cards that have hit the market (and are extremely hard to find). In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "For those already equipped with a high-end graphics card from the past few years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be a significant upgrade – its performance edge over the RTX 4080 is minimal, though the DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers looking to upgrade from an older card, the RTX 5080 delivers a substantial performance boost, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia's AI enhancements."
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
The initial batch of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within an hour of preorders opening. The first models to be released were the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, the same scarcity applies to prebuilt gaming PCs featuring these new GPUs. Systems that were available at launch are now either sold out, have increased in price, or face significant shipping delays.
