Starting today, Dell is offering an unbeatable deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, equipped with the latest GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This is one of the most competitive prices available for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system, especially considering the upward trend in prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 is over $4,000. If you're considering building your own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost you as much as this entire prebuilt system.
Update: Tariffs have impacted Dell as well, and with the ongoing stock issues surrounding the Blackwell cards, expect prices on Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs to rise soon.

The RTX 5080 is one of the new Blackwell series graphics cards that have been notoriously hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "For those with high-end graphics cards from the past few years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 may not be a significant upgrade – it offers only a marginal performance increase over the RTX 4080, although DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance the gaming experience in supported titles. However, for gamers looking to upgrade from older GPUs, the RTX 5080 delivers a substantial performance boost, especially if you're keen on utilizing Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
The initial wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within an hour of preorders opening. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 were the first to be released, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Similarly, prebuilt gaming PCs with these GPUs are either sold out, have increased in price, or are facing long delivery delays.
