Starting today, Dell is offering an unbeatable deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, priced at just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This is a standout offer, especially when considering the upward trend in pricing for RTX 50 series GPUs since their launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU is over $4,000, making this deal particularly attractive. Attempting to find a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build might cost you as much as this entire prebuilt system, if not more.
Update: Like many other companies, Dell has been impacted by recent tariffs. Given the ongoing stock challenges with Blackwell cards, prices on Alienware gaming desktops featuring RTX 50 series GPUs are anticipated to rise soon.

The RTX 5080 is one of the new Blackwell graphics cards that have been incredibly difficult to find since their release. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not offer a significant upgrade – its performance gain over the RTX 4080 is marginal, though the additional frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation can enhance supported games. However, if you're upgrading from an older GPU and seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a fantastic choice, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
