Nvidia’s newly launched GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs are currently hard to find in stock. We anticipate stock levels to change over the coming weeks as the first batch of these graphics cards gradually makes its way onto store shelves. However, if you are interested in upgrading all your components and are willing to wait a bit longer, you may want to preorder a prebuilt Alienware Area-51 gaming PC featuring an RTX 5080 from Dell’s online store. The Alienware Area-51 5080 PCs start at $4,450 and are expected to be available on March 25. While this price is significantly higher than the RTX 5080’s $1,000 suggested retail price, if you were considering purchasing a brand new gaming desktop, the Area-51 comes with premium components.

Starts at $4,450 | Releases March 25
Dell indicates that Alienware Area-51 models with the RTX 5090 will also be available soon. Currently, there are several RTX 5080 configurations ready to preorder. Here are the options:
- Alienware Area-51 Gaming PC with RTX 5080 GPU, Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, 32GB DDR5 memory, and a 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4 SSD — $4,450
- Alienware Area-51 Gaming PC with RTX 5080 GPU, Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, 64GB DDR5 memory, and a 4TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4 SSD — $5,050
Both configurations feature Alienware’s Station-51 ATX motherboard and the Station-51 PC case, which includes a tempered glass side panel, built-in cable management, and a dedicated daughterboard for effortlessly connecting lights and system fans.

Additionally, it is equipped with three M.2 expansion slots, allowing you to easily enhance your SSD storage.
In addition to these internal specifications, both computers operate on Windows 11 and come complete with a mouse and keyboard.
Where to Acquire Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs
While the Alienware Station-51 gaming PCs present a reliable option to ensure you secure an RTX 5080 in the upcoming months, they tend to be considerably more expensive than simply buying the new Nvidia GPUs individually. If you’re prepared to take a chance, you might consider waiting for the GPUs to become available again, which could potentially save you a substantial amount compared to acquiring a fully assembled PC, and—if you manage to get one before it sells out again—you might receive the latest GPU even sooner.
You can find listings for the RTX 5080 and 5090 at various retailers through the links provided below. They are still out of stock at the moment of writing, but continue to check back to see if they become available again. The RTX 5070 is not yet for sale, but the “budget” 50-Series GPU is anticipated to launch in February.
