Starting today, Dell is offering an exceptional deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This is a standout offer, as it's one of the most competitive prices for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system on the market, especially with other brands increasing prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. If you're considering a DIY PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost you as much as this entire system, making this deal even more appealing.
Update: Tariffs have impacted Dell as well, and with the Blackwell cards still facing stock shortages, prices for Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs are anticipated to rise soon.

The RTX 5080 is one of the new Blackwell graphics cards, which are currently in high demand and hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "If you already own a high-end graphics card from the past couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be a significant upgrade – its performance edge over the RTX 4080 is minimal, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance the gaming experience in compatible titles. However, for those with older GPUs seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially with Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

Similarly, prebuilt gaming PCs with these GPUs are either sold out, have increased in price, or are facing long delivery delays.
