Dell's Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the coveted GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, is available for a remarkable $2,399.99 with free shipping. This represents one of the most competitive prices currently available for a pre-built system with this powerful GPU. Many other brands have significantly increased prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January, making this deal even more attractive. Dell's only other RTX 5080-equipped pre-built option costs over $4,000. Considering the scarcity and high cost of standalone RTX 5080 GPUs, building a comparable PC yourself would likely be far more expensive.

RTX 5080: Exceptional Performance, Limited Availability
The RTX 5080, one of three newly released Blackwell graphics cards (and notoriously difficult to acquire), delivers a substantial performance upgrade for gamers with older hardware. While not a massive leap over the RTX 4080, the inclusion of DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation significantly enhances visual fidelity in compatible games.
High Demand, Low Supply: RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs
The initial release of Nvidia's RTX 50-series GPUs (RTX 5090 and RTX 5080) sold out almost instantly. This scarcity extends to pre-built PCs equipped with these GPUs; many are either out of stock, overpriced, or facing significant shipping delays.
