Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 shipped. This price point is one of the most competitive you'll find for a prebuilt system featuring the RTX 5080, especially given the upward price trend since the RTX 50 series debuted in January. If you're considering other options at Dell, you'll find the next RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system costs over $4,000. And if you're thinking about assembling a DIY PC, good luck sourcing a standalone RTX 5080 GPU without spending as much as you would on this complete setup.

The RTX 5080 is one of the new Blackwell graphics cards that are currently in high demand and hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "If you already own 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 significantly outpace the RTX 4080, though the additional frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance the gaming experience in supported titles. However, if you're upgrading from an older graphics card and seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
The initial preorders for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within an hour. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 were the first to hit the market, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, the same scarcity applies to prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs. Systems available at launch are now either sold out, have increased in price, or are facing long delivery delays.
