Nvidia’s latest GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs are currently in short supply, creating a buzz among gaming enthusiasts. Stock levels are anticipated to fluctuate in the coming weeks as these sought-after graphics cards begin to reach store shelves. For those looking to upgrade their complete gaming setup, the Alienware Area-51 gaming PC featuring the RTX 5080 is available for preorder through Dell’s online store. Priced starting at $4,450, these systems are set to launch on March 25.
While the price of the prebuilt Alienware system is notably higher than the RTX 5080’s MSRP of $1,000, the Area-51 consoles boast premium components, making them an attractive option for serious gamers. Dell has also announced that models equipped with the RTX 5090 will be available soon, while multiple configurations of the RTX 5080 are ready for preorder. Notable options include:
– Alienware Area-51 Gaming PC with RTX 5080, Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, 32GB DDR5 memory, and 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4 SSD priced at $4,450.
– Alienware Area-51 Gaming PC with RTX 5080, Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, 64GB DDR5 memory, and 4TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4 SSD priced at $5,050.
Both models are built with Alienware’s advanced Area-51 ATX motherboard and housing, featuring a tempered glass panel, integrated cable management, and a dedicated daughterboard for easy connectivity of lighting and system fans. Additionally, three M.2 expansion slots allow for further SSD storage increases.
Operating on Windows 11, both gaming PCs come bundled with a mouse and keyboard, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
### Where to Find Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs
For those who prefer to purchase the GPUs separately, waiting for the RTX 5080 and 5090 to return to stock could be a more economical choice, albeit with the risk of missing out again if they sell out quickly. While the RTX 5070 has yet to be released, it is expected to debut in February, promising even more options for gamers.
