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 represents one of the best deals available for an RTX 5080 equipped prebuilt system, especially considering the upward price trend since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the only other option for an RTX 5080 GPU comes at a steep $4,000+. If you're considering building your own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost you as much as 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 is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, complemented by a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU features a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. The system's thermal management is handled by a robust 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and it's supported by a 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.
The RTX 5080 is part of the newly released Blackwell series, which has been in high demand and difficult to find. In our review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE, Jackie notes, "For those with recent high-end graphics cards, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be a compelling upgrade, given its marginal performance improvement over the RTX 4080. However, the enhanced frame rates provided by DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation can enhance gameplay in supported titles. For gamers looking to significantly boost performance from older GPUs, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you embrace Nvidia's AI features."
