As someone who has normally stayed up to date on pc components for the most part over the years, I am thoroughly impressed with how powerful this pc is for its price point. Good all around pc for beginners and experts. Excellent airflow that quite literally NEVER gets too hot on. The price is compact with no heating problems. If you expect constant 244 frames though, this will not be the case but thanks to the next gen of gpu most games run 180ish fps on high settings. Only 16gb of ram but doesn’t make the pc feel sluggish. 10/10

I ended up getting this HP OMEN after damage to my older PC that I had sent off for repairs. Best Buy’s Geek Squad really took care of me, they lowered the price of this machine, matched it with the value of my older one, and even gave me additional in-store credits. I was very satisfied with how they handled the whole situation. I’ve had this PC for about 2–3 weeks now, and it’s been working great! Between designing, gaming, and 3D work, it has been running smoothly without a hitch. I may upgrade the RAM later for heavier workloads, and I’ll probably replace the keyboard and mouse with something more gamer-focused, but the tower itself has been excellent. Another big plus is how quiet it runs it’s practically dead silent, even under load. Overall, a powerful system backed by outstanding support from Best Buy.
