Dell is offering an incredible deal: the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, boasting the new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This represents one of the best prices currently available for a pre-built PC with an RTX 5080, especially considering other brands have significantly increased prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. Dell's other RTX 5080-equipped pre-built PCs cost over $4,000. Finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build is nearly impossible and would likely cost as much as this complete system.

The cutting-edge Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU boasts a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache.

The RTX 5080 is one of three new Blackwell graphics cards (currently extremely difficult to acquire). As noted in our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, while the performance increase over the RTX 4080 isn't massive, the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation significantly enhance visuals in compatible games. 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: A Rare Find
The initial release of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out instantly. The RTX 5070 Ti followed suit, and the same scarcity applies to pre-built PCs equipped with these GPUs. Many systems initially listed are now out of stock, have increased in price, or face extended shipping delays.
