Thank you Turtile. I ordered this early July. I called HP up and they priced matched me for ~$250 savings, solid for a 20 minute phone call. They did not price match the coupon code - I might call and try again.

All - its a solid pre-built. The GPU oem skeeves me a bit, but its thermals are same with Nvidia FE. I haven't seen it go over 72. The unit's thermals are solid, and its super quiet. One drawback is throttling. Im a noob, so I wont do it for a while. But with this oem mobo, its kinda stuck where it is. You'd need a new mobo.

Isn't the 3080 build a better deal at $1,799.99?

If you have the budget, for an extra $400, it likely is. The difference in cost between the Ryzen 5800x and Intel i7-12700k is roughly $100. The cost difference between a RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 is between $200-350 depending on deals that can be found. So while you would be paying the difference compared to average market value of parts, you would be getting that value.

That said, this deal is still decent given it is the revised case that isn't nearly as terrible as the older HP cases.

The MRSP difference between a 3070 and 3080 is supposed to be $200. But with there's two pre-builts that would be a $400 difference. So I would not find value in the 3080 pre-built, unless its ~$1600. Hope that makes sense.

Six months ago they refused to ship a machine on "price mistake" now they are begging you to buy at a lower price!

That is since the crypto mining pretty much died they have a whole bunch of left overs. However new CPU and GPU are suppose to hitting the market in the 4th quarter this year which will be cheaper and faster so they try to get rid of that stock while they can. If they are actually cheaper that remains to be seen though but like the RX 7700 XT is rumored to have a sales price of 399 msrp while performing close up to RTX 3090. So its only logical that stuff will come further down in price.

It's a mixture of things. The GPU part, yes - along with the 4th gen coming.

Then there's the new gen of AMD chips, along with DDR5.

So combine and yea, they need to get rid of this inventory. This pre-built should have never been priced at $2200, that's ridiculous - almost $800 over msrp and that's with two major oem parts.
