Starting today, Dell is offering a fantastic deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This price point is a steal for an RTX 5080 equipped prebuilt system, especially considering the steady price hikes we've seen from other brands since the RTX 50 series was launched in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU costs over $4,000, making this offer particularly attractive. If you're thinking about building your own PC, good luck finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU; you might end up spending as much on just the GPU as you would on this entire system.

$2,399.99 at Alienware
This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC comes packed with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU is a powerhouse, featuring a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. It's cooled efficiently by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and the system is supported by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.
The RTX 5080 is part of the new Blackwell series of GPUs, which have been flying off the shelves since their release. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted that "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be a compelling upgrade – it doesn't offer a significant performance lead over the RTX 4080. However, the additional frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance the gaming experience in supported titles. For those with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."
