Dell is offering a fantastic deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the coveted GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This represents exceptional value, especially considering the rising prices of RTX 50-series pre-built systems from other brands since the January launch. Dell's other RTX 5080 configurations command prices exceeding $4,000. Finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build would likely cost as much as this entire system.

The RTX 5080 is one of three newly released Blackwell graphics cards (currently difficult to acquire). Our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review highlights that while it may not offer a massive performance jump over the RTX 4080 for high-end users, the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation significantly enhance visuals in compatible games. However, for gamers with older hardware, the RTX 5080 delivers a substantial performance boost, particularly when utilizing Nvidia's AI features.
