Definitely. Very close to Costcos sale on 5080 build last week. Actually has a better amd for pure gaming. Although Costco throws in 2 years warranty. I don't think this one will

I bought this 35L from Best Buy Last week on it's last day of sale for $2549 (before tax) and this is a good enough deal to make me return it so I am and I bought this one.
Both have a 5080, but this has a pure gaming CPU, 2TB SSD, Wifi 7, BT 5.4, 2.5g Ethernet, 1000watt Gold Modular PSU are all better than what's in the BB machine. The BB is now $3099 so it's a no brainer to buy from HP.
I do not believe PC prices will be going down... my gut says, Black Friday will be these prices.
I got this exact build about a month back open box from eBay. So far it has been a really nice PC. Good performance and runs cool and quiet. Graphics card is built like a tank.
It was. Good price back then. Around the same time at Micro Center they had the refurb version of this except with an Ultra 9 285k and 64gb of RAM. Depending on your use case then that was pretty sweet too especially since Micro Center are crazy good about their warranty and services with refurb units.

I believe pc price will go down. For the economy and consumers, it is a must. Price rise due to the hype of AI from b2b, an illusion valuation. It is unsustainable for long term without consumers support. Any economy without the consumers will collapse.

The good deals sell out quick but they pop up from time to time but not many can get it even if you post them.

Horrible price right now. Wait...
$2,619 now. My Spidey-sense is telling me with with a random price point, that USED variants are coming soon.
