Dell is offering an incredible deal on an Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the highly sought-after GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This represents one of the best prices currently available for a pre-built PC with this powerful GPU. Many competitors have significantly increased prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January, making this offer even more attractive. Dell's other RTX 5080-equipped pre-built systems cost over $4,000, highlighting the exceptional value of this deal. Furthermore, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build is incredibly difficult and would likely cost as much as this complete system.

The RTX 5080 is one of three newly released Blackwell graphics cards (currently extremely difficult to acquire). As noted in our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, while the performance upgrade over the RTX 4080 isn't massive for those already owning high-end hardware, the significant performance boost and visual enhancements offered by DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation make it a compelling upgrade for gamers with older graphics cards.
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs: A Scarce Commodity
The initial release of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, specifically the high-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out almost instantly. The RTX 5070 Ti followed suit shortly after in February. This scarcity extends to pre-built PCs equipped with these GPUs; many systems initially listed are now out of stock, have seen price increases, or are facing extended delivery delays.
