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

Author: Caleb Apr 13,2025

Starting today, Dell is offering an unbeatable deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, now equipped with the latest GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This is a standout offer in the market, particularly as prices for RTX 5080-equipped systems have been on the rise since the RTX 50 series debuted in January. If you're looking for a similar prebuilt system at Dell, be prepared to spend over $4,000. And if you're considering building your own PC, good luck finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU without spending as much as you would on this entire system.

Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F RTX 5080 Gaming PC

$2,399.99 at Alienware

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC packs an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU boasts a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. It's cooled efficiently by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and the system is powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is one of the three new Blackwell graphics cards currently available, and they're nearly impossible to find. 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 worth the upgrade – it doesn't significantly outpace the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance supported games. However, for gamers with older GPUs seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI features."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within the first hour of preorders. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 were the first to launch, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs are also hard to come by, with many systems either out of stock, more expensive, or facing extended delivery delays.
