$2,399.99 at Alienware

Dell debuts a compelling offer on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC featuring Nvidia's newest RTX 5080 graphics card at just $2,399.99 - an exceptional value considering current GPU prices. This configuration represents one of the most affordable ways to acquire the coveted RTX 5080, with competing prebuilt systems often priced $1,600 higher or more. Finding standalone RTX 5080 GPUs remains nearly impossible, making this complete system particularly appealing.

Premium Components at a Competitive Price

This powerhouse configuration includes:

• Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor (5.3GHz boost, 20 cores)
• Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card
• 16GB DDR5-5200MHz RAM
• 1TB NVMe SSD storage
• 240mm liquid CPU cooling
• 1000W 80PLUS Platinum PSU

For gamers still using older graphics cards, the RTX 5080 delivers substantial performance gains - especially when leveraging Nvidia's DLSS 4 technology. While the generational leap from RTX 4080 may not justify an upgrade, those coming from earlier generations will experience transformative gaming improvements.

Extreme Demand for Next-Gen GPUs

Since the RTX 50-series launch in January, inventory has remained exceptionally tight. Both the 5080 and flagship 5090 sold out immediately, with ongoing shortages affecting both standalone GPUs and prebuilt systems. Many retailers have implemented significant price increases on remaining inventory, making Dell's current offer particularly noteworthy.
