The main complaints I've heard about this rig are:
-Poor thermals/airflow, leading to loud/overworked case fans (so you probably want to add a couple of extra case fans of your own)
-Only one PCI-E slot, and it's taken by the GPU (in my case, it means I have to give up my sound card)
-RAM is difficult to upgrade--most non-HP ram will default clock to 2666 (supposedly this can be worked around by using Intel XTU to manually set RAM clocks, otherwise you have to overpay for HP RAM)
-Locked BIOS (so no proper BIOS overclocking, you are limited to HP's software overclocks and fan controls, which are not great--I would not expect big/stable overclocks on this rig)
These are significant complaints, but certainly not deal breakers for most users. I plan to add my own fans, and I won't be trying to break any overclocking records. This HP is a few hundred bucks cheaper than any comparable deal right now, and most of the components are actually really high quality (750W 80+ Platinum Cooler Master PSU, 3-fan GPU, WD Black SSD, and HyperX 3200 memory). They just cheaped out on a tiny motherboard and have a stingy BIOS policy that hamstrings the "k" in the 10700k. You wouldn't really expect tremendous performance gains from overclocking a 10700k to begin with, and it will still utterly demolish anything you throw at it, but it's still annoying.
If anything on the list above is a deal breaker, then you just have to wing it on the slim chance that someone like Cyberpower gets close to this price on one of their BF pre-builds (they had a 5600X/3080 system for ~$1600, and a 10900k/3080 build for ~$1900), but either way this HP Omen is a hell of a price for the components. Even if you could find all the cheapest parts in stock and fudged your Windows license, you still could not build this for cheaper on your own.
One of the cash back sites is up to 12% today too.
edit: I'd also recommend upgrading to wifi 6 option for $10 more.
If you need a 3080 right NOW, I guess this is the only way you're getting it even close to retail.

The ram I purchased is HyperX Fury RGB 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 CL18 DIMM Single Stick HX436C18FB3A/32
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CXYWXMK
I originally tried to follow below post about how to install the intel XTU program to turn the memory clock. But the current intel version (7.0.1.4) didn't show the memory section so there is no way to change parameter for memory.
https://h30434.www3.hp.
Additional research give me some useful info and I have managed to download old version 6.5.2.38. Once I install the old version and open the exe, I was able to see the memory section from the opened program.
https://h30434.www3.hp.
My suggestion is google "Intel XTU Component Device 6.5.2.38" and the first link is where I get the old version. When you click the setup make sure it's said 6.5.2.38 otherwise you need download the correct version again.
Once the XTU was setup correctly, all I did is click "customized" on memory section and notice the clock change from 2400 to 3200mhz. Then click apply and restart your pc. Hope this helps and enjoying.

Tried to call today and ended up 1hr+ waiting and the call dropped
Want to make sure they upgrade shipping and/or give me at least 50$ as commented above.
Tracking number shows nothing on FedEx.
Shipping still showing 2-10 days even though I was told my shipping was upgrades.
Emailed the gal from my exec email. Asking for to check into it.
I suspect they are making tracking numbers to satisfy people even though it won't ship for another week.

Once the XTU was setup correctly, all I did is enable "real time memory" and notice the clock change from 2400 to 3200mhz. Hope this helps and enjoying.
