Awesome.

I would have gone with this 40L if I hadn't pull the trigger on a 30L earlier.
40L is a much spacious case with a lot of room for upgrades

You have to be logged into hp with your .edu and verify it.

1084 is good deal bc of 5800x and 6600xt.
You can put together same spec pc but this comes pre-built and windows so it's right at 1084.

This is a weird build. A low-mid grade card with a higher end CPU : /

It would be a much better value to build it with custom parts and buy an appropriately capable GPU. Even better would be to wait as prices on 3XXX/6XXX GPUs are crashing, as 4XXX/7XXX cards will dramatically outperform current gen.

* I could build a budget rig for less than half the cost that would outperform this by a meaningful margin : /
Can you cite any reputable proof of this? Are you an insider at Nvidia? Repeating rumors and predictions, that you read about on blogs, isn't helpful. They are mostly just dishonest people running clickbait, from what I've seen.

The upcoming cards have little to nothing to do with the current cards falling in price and anyone who knows tech should know this.

Actually it is helpful. ADA Lovelace and RDNA3 are incoming. Leaks are accelerating and consistent, and it follows with the typical release roadmap that was kept nearly on track even at the height of the pandemic. The 5nm node is operational at scale. The next gen isn't going to be an incremental increase in performance, it will be even more dramatic than the transition from 2XXX/5XXX to 3XXX/6XXX. Current gen hardware prices are already correcting as a result of this and the cessation of ethereum mining in the near future.

Investing at full retail into an imbalanced build of soon to be highly inferior and devalued hardware is ignorant.

All that said, it's honestly irrelevant. I could still build a budget rig for near to or possibly less than half the cost that would outperform this in most games, period. That's fact not speculation.

* Actually, in response to your edit, the new gen has a lot to do with current prices falling. It isn't the only factor, but is notable. Supply is easing, mining demand is falling, and the current gen is in it's twilight. Anyone that knows about tech knows all of this. I'm a miner, I literally feed myself off of knowing these things.

6600XT is on par with 3060. It is not bad and it has good performance per dollar value.
When 4XXX cards are out, this configuration would have the least depreciation and great room to upgrade.

The 5800x will probably be overkill for gaming for the next 5-6 years. So i think this would be a good buy if you plan on upgrading the gpu with the next generation or even the one after that depending on what you are doing with it.

May be it's me as new, but you can pickpcparts and see the cost of the system. If your list it and post it as you said, it would be very helpful to me and others as well. Pls do

I didn't say the 6600XT was bad absolutely, only that it's a lopsided pairing. It's just retail pricing but for HP sourced parts. I could build this same system with higher grade non OEM parts for the same or less that would outperform it all else equal. A 3060 Ti or 6700 XT for $100 more is a much better value, but all of this will crater in a few months.

Why would this configuration have less depreciation? It won't. It's mostly mediocre grade last gen hardware at full retail prices while supply is catching up and demand is tanking, all in the shadow of dramatically more powerful releases. It's absurd to buy this right now, at this price at least.

Facepalm

Code "SPRINGSALEHP10" doesn't seem to be working anymore.

Try "5GAMER2022", which brings the price to $1,144.74.
