Be aware, these HP Victus and Pavilion desktops use proprietary motherboards, power supplies, and possibly coolers. And most likely the ram is a single stick. If you want upgradeability and still want an hp, get one of the larger Omen models and try to fix the airflow issues. But for that price point you're almost better building one yourself, or buying a pre-built from someone like clx, skytech, maingear, or similar.
if it won't run on a 3090ti why do you want a 3080ti.
A 3060 will meet the recommended requirements for VR gaming with I believe literally every headset. Outside of like the Prixas 8k VR sets, I think a GTX 1070 meets the recommended requirements for any current sets, maybe 1080 for some. The Oculus, though I guess now Meta Quest 2, has support for Oculus Link to access full PC VR games going back to like a GTX 970 even.point is, an RTX 3060 should be more than sufficient for a good VR experience.

I'm not very savvy in this department, but I did just order this a few weeks ago, with a few minor differences.

A few of the specs were a slightly lower and it was about $150 cheaper. I have been using it now and I am very pleased with it. The computer itself is pretty lightweight, but it feels really well made at the same time. It looks great and runs really quiet and smoothly. I have been playing a ton of AOE4 on it, as well as Valheim and also stock trading at the same time. It is super fast and hasn't had a single problem yet. The mouse and keyboard it came with aren't half bad either. I would definitely recommend it.

I'm hoping you guys can chime in and help me make a decision. I've been out of building PC's for 10 plus years and my current desktop needs to be replaced (i5-3570 with 16GB ram).

I do a lot of multitasking and run 4 monitors (MS office, Amazon Workspace, tons of Firefox windows and tabs open, etc.) I do not game.

I've been eyeing a deal at Costco that is on sale for $999 - HP Envy Model TE01-3157c

12th Gen Intel® Core i7-12700F (12-Core) Processor
NVIDIA® GeForce GTX™ 1660 SUPER, 6GB
Wi-Fi 6 (2x2/160) Gig+ and Bluetooth® 5.2
HP 710 Black Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
Microsoft® Windows 11 Home (64-bit)
32GB DDR4-3200MHz SDRAM
1TB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 Solid State Drive

The deal in this post seems to be pretty similar specs with the differences being the chip has the built in GPU (Costco is just the F chip) and a better GPU card. I gain double the memory and double the NVMe size with Costco. (I have a bunch of WD black 2TB drives laying around I can use on the Costco build for more data storage if I want to later)

I don't know much about HP Envy or this Victus, but from what I can tell I couldn't build these specs on my own, even with GPU prices coming down, etc.

What do you guys think? Any advice? Appreciate it! Smilie

I'm inside Microcenter right now and they have the exact same PC with the exact same specs for $799. In store only deal. Manager just said don't even bother unless you are going to gut it because he's seen about 8 of them come back in the past week due to overheating/crashing issues.

I was looking at this before. Can't upgrade this beyond 32gb ram as per HP. I was looking to buy this and get 64gb ram purely for coding purposes but that isn't doable

HP puts a lot of proprietary crap in their systems such as non-standard mb and psu so they can't be upgraded or moved to a new systems which creates more ewaste.
I highly doubt many people are throwing away these PC's when they are done with them. Most likely selling second hand, gifting to family, or donating. If this was a $200-300 desktop, you might be right though.

Just build a pc. It's better with quility parts and in the future upgradable. With hp pcs the bios is locked so no overclocking and they always come with crappy low power supplies. Also there airflow is horrible.

IMHO For your usage I'd go with the Envy system at Costco

The Envy has 32 GB memory and a 1TB SSD. Thats better value and use than this systems 16GB / 512SSD / 1TBHDD
This Victus has a 3060 which is better GPU but you are enot gaming so thats not important.
The 12700 vs 12700F processors doesn't really matter since both systems have discrete GPUs.

Also buying at Costco should get you a longer warranty IIRC.

Your Costco deal is very tempting. Could you please share the link of the order page? I have searched on the Costco pages. I cannot find it.

Nevermind!
I found it with SKU# serach.

If you want to call yourself a gaming computer these days you need to do better than coming with an HDD. AT minimum this setup should have a 1TB SSD. Anything less is just BS.

I'm not sure if you're implying that the SSD in the system is too small or that it only comes with a HDD? Because it does list a 512GB SSD AND a 1 TB Harddrive.
