Building a PC can be daunting for many of us, and with current memory and SSD prices, opting for a prebuilt system makes sense. There are plenty of OEMs and independent system integrators to choose from, but if you’re looking for something that delivers peak performance, the HP Omen 35L gaming desktop is worth considering. Originally retailing at $3,299.99 via HP’s official online store, the desktop is currently available with a $260 discount as part of the President’s Day sale. Additionally, applying the promo code PRESDAYPC100 at checkout knocks off another $100, bringing the final price down to $2,939.99.
Powering the system is Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285K, the flagship processor from Team Blue’s current-generation Arrow Lake desktop lineup. The chip features 24 cores and 24 threads, with boost clocks reaching up to 5.7GHz. While the Core Ultra 9 285K isn’t the absolute best gaming CPU compared to AMD’s X3D processors or even some of Intel’s older 13th- and 14th-gen chips, it still delivers more than enough performance for high-end gaming and demanding workloads.
The rest of the specifications include 64GB of Kingston Fury DDR5 memory running at 6000 MT/s, complete with a heatsink and RGB lighting. Since the motherboard offers four DIMM slots, there’s room to expand the memory further if needed down the line. On the graphics side, the system is equipped with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080, a GPU that currently sells for well over $1,200 on its own and delivers enough horsepower to handle modern AAA titles at 4K. It also supports current features such as DLSS 4 and next-generation ray tracing. Storage is provided by a 2TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 SSD, with two additional M.2 slots for expansion.
The Intel Z890 motherboard in the Omen 35L offers a solid selection of I/O options. On the rear, you get two USB Type-C ports, one with Thunderbolt 4 support and another limited to USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds (10Gbps), along with two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports (5Gbps), four USB 2.0 Type-A ports, 2.5-gigabit Ethernet, a microphone input, and line-in and line-out audio jacks. The front I/O adds another USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and a combined headphone/microphone jack. Other important features include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and an 80+ Gold-rated 1000W power supply.
If you have been eyeing a no-compromise prebuilt with top-tier components, this President’s Day deal makes the HP Omen 35L a compelling option at under $3,000.
