Dell's Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the coveted GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, is available for a remarkable $2,399.99 with free shipping. This represents exceptional value for an RTX 5080 pre-built system, especially considering the price hikes seen across other brands since the RTX 50 series launch in January. Dell's only other RTX 5080 pre-built option commands a price exceeding $4,000. Furthermore, securing a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build is proving exceptionally difficult, often costing as much as this complete system.
