Choose between either the Intel or AMD edition. The Intel variant, which is currently on sale for $4,030, is equipped with Intel's best CPU, the Core Ultra 9 285K, along with 64GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The AMD variant is up for preorder for $4,450 and features the outstanding AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D CPU, 64GB of DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a generous 4TB SSD. Although the AMD variant does cost about $400 more, it's worth it if you can afford it. You get a better gaming CPU, faster RAM, and most importantly, double the SSD storage. It ships in February.
The RTX 5090 is the most powerful graphics card ever
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. There's no debate here because no other GPU comes even close. Although Nvidia has prioritized software updates, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology with this generation, the 5090 still boasts an impressive 25%-30% uplift over the RTX 4090 in hardware-based raster performance. Also, the new DLSS 4.5 is miles better than AMD's FSR upscaling technology. If you want the absolute best performance for your gaming PC, there is literally no other option from any other brand.
The Omen 45L is HP's Flagship Gaming Chassis
The OMEN 45L is HP's roomiest chassis with plenty of cooling in the form of four 120mm fans for system airflow and an additional 240mm or 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling solution for the CPU enclosed in its own "Cryo Chamber" at the top of the case. This PC is equipped with a generous 1,200W 80Plus Gold power supply and current-gen components like an Intel Z790 motherboard, Kingston FURY DDR5-6000MHz RGB memory modules, and a WD Black M.2 SSD. The chassis itself looks great with its blend of steel and tempered glass and RGB lighting. Although it certainly exudes a very premium feel, it doesn't scream "gamer" like some other PC cases.
