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

Author : Gabriel May 21,2025

Dell currently offers one of the most competitive prices on a prebuilt desktop featuring the RTX 5080. You can now purchase an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is impressive for a well-engineered and warrantied system capable of delivering high frame rates in 4K gaming. However, an even more compelling deal has emerged. For just $100 more, you can upgrade to an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory, making this an exceptional value.

In today's market, opting for a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to acquire an RTX 5080 GPU without facing hefty markups. Attempting to buy this GPU for a DIY build would likely cost you nearly as much as an entire prebuilt system. While most prebuilt systems are also priced higher, this particular deal stands out as an exception.

Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC for $2,400

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 features 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, a Meteor Lake CPU, reaches a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. It's efficiently cooled 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, now discounted to $2,499.99 at Alienware, this upgraded Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC represents a superior deal, despite the $100 increase. It comes equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 CPU and 32GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM. The Core Ultra 9 285 CPU offers a 300MHz faster turbo frequency and 4 more cores than the Intel Core Ultra 7 265F.

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

The RTX 5080 stands as the second highest-end Blackwell graphics card, only outdone 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."
