Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming PC with RTX 5080 GPU: Save $400 Now

Author : Hunter May 02,2025

Dell is currently offering one of the best deals on a prebuilt desktop equipped with an RTX 5080 GPU. You can snag an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is exceptional for a high-quality, warrantied system capable of delivering smooth 4K gaming at high frame rates. But there's an even more enticing offer available: for only $100 more, you can upgrade to a configuration featuring an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory.

In today's market, purchasing a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to get your hands on an RTX 5080 GPU without facing exorbitant markups. Attempting to buy this GPU for a DIY build would likely cost nearly as much as the entire prebuilt system. While many prebuilt PCs are also marked up, this particular deal stands out as an exception.

Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F RTX 5080 Gaming PC (16GB/1TB)

Priced at $2,399.99 at Alienware, this Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC comes with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. It's cooled efficiently by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and the system is powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

Better Deal: Upgrade to Core Ultra 9 and 2x RAM for $2,500

Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 9 285 RTX 5080 Gaming PC (32GB/1TB)

Originally priced at $2,899.99, Dell has now discounted this upgraded Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC to $2,499.99, a 14% savings. This configuration includes an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 CPU and 32GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM. The Core Ultra 9 285 CPU provides a turbo frequency that's 300MHz faster and has 4 more cores than the Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, making it a superior choice for just $100 more.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K

The RTX 5080 is the second highest-end Blackwell graphics card, only surpassed by the $2,000 RTX 5090. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 doesn’t make a lot of sense – it just doesn’t have much of a performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do make things look better in games that support it. However, for gamers with an older graphics card who want a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 absolutely provides – doubly so if you’re comfortable with Nvidia’s AI goodies."
