This...this is actually a good deal. Wow.
Given that the case is small and the PSU is still unknown to myself, if you have a tower already and we're looking to upgrade, this seems like thing to get. I assume the mini isn't soddered on like some fell manufacturers do, so the transition so be easy.

I was so on the fence on picking this up as I have built my own PC for the past 13 years now.

My plan with this computer (as I did order it) is to use it as is for at least a year as is, then pick up my own components minus the GPU and CPU and just use them for the base of my next build. Might even get a new GPU at that point in time, but we will see.

Basically I figure I paid $500 for the motherboard, PSU, ram, HDD's (I got 1 SSD and one regular), case, and Windows, and I will upgrade them all (probably reuse the HDD's) next year.

Looking at it like this, this really was one hell of a deal.

Eff it, ended up purchasing it with the i7-6700K, 256SSD/1TB HDD combo, GTX 980Ti and a 3-year warranty for about $1600 after the coupon and taxes. Considering I just purchased a pretty nice CyberPowerPC (that was also on sale) from Best Buy with lower specs for about $250 more the other night, I'd say $1600 on this is an absolute steal. Cancelling the Best Buy order now.

I cannot begin to express how excited I am about finally getting a new gaming PC; I don't think I've felt this giddy since getting my hands on the original Wii almost ten years ago.

Thanks, GAF!

You cannot. I am on the friends and family for HP because I did a guided tour of their facilities years ago, and you can even see I posted in this thread did anyone know why it was telling me my coupon code was not valid. That was why. As soon as I logged out, I could apply this deal.


In other news, mine also shipped. Just ordered last week. Should be here Thursday!!

Yea, I tried with my buddies today, and my military discount and it wasn't working. Also tried sweet talking the customer service into making it happen. In other news, the price dropped $60 today, so I'm having even more trouble not doing it.

That's my dilemma. There's nothin I'm really interested in playing until the fall, but it still seems like the deal is too good to pass up.

I may sell my Surface Book and just roll with this.


****Bought one. Damn it.

So do you guys think the 980ti is worth it at this price with Pascal coming up? Seems like it should be fine for a couple years. Also, is it worth it to get the 4.0 ghz i7 over the 3.4? Last, is 500 watt psu enough power? Thanks.

Mine finally shipped yesterday. Says i should get it Thursday. Gonna have to arrange them to hold it at the fed-ex or something cause they require signature delivery. Ordered it March 21st. Hopefully everything works well. Cant wait to max out all me games.

I think I've convinced myself that I missed the last one...and it came back after not that long...

And that I'll be able to hold out till the next round of GPU's releases and that they will run a similar sale...

Don't try to convince me otherwise PC GAF!

I can get the best i7 and a 980 ti for $1200 total (including taxes).

Is it worth buying that then selling my 980 and i5-4690k PC to cover the cost? So tempted but I know the improvements would be 20% at best.

Depends on how much are you going to sell them but yea, it doesn't seem that much of an upgrade for you. Wait for Pascal/Polaris imho.

We can try to hold the line together as I am pretty much the same boat.

It might be easier for me as I would be transitioning for being a mostly ps4 gamer to mostly pc gamer.

with these kinds of graphics cards, isn't there a good chance of overheating? Just a rumor I heard, but I'm not sure about the facts behind it.

Ordered mine on Tuesday and it shipped yesterday. Went with the 6700k and the 980ti. I've been able to run plenty of stuff just fine on my current PC with a 750ti, but I've started going PS 4 / XBONE with more recent games thanks to Amazon's prime discounts. Excited to get back to using a PC as my main system!

My current pc is 4 years old with a 500 series nvidia card and an old CPU. I'm looking forward to the upgrade. I've been pricing similar builds from other manufacturers for awhile, and this is the best deal for these components that I've seen so far, especially with the coupon.

Not sure why their building/shipping priority is so completely fucked. Ordered March 19th and it just shipped while people that ordered last week already shipped. In fact someone that ordered a day after me already received theirs. Haha. What the fuck?

Help me, GAF! I somehow missed this deal, and just the other day put the finishing touches on my first desktop build, to use with the HTC Vive. It managed to turn out both more expensive and less powerful than this HP in almost every respect. Specs:

[B said:
CPU:[/B] Intel Core i5 6500
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 980 4GD5 OCV1
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-B150M-D3H DDR3 Micro ATX LGA1151
PSU: Corsair CX 500W 80+ Bronze Modular PSU
Case: Cooler Master N200 MicroATX Mid Tower Case]
Click to expand...

Win 10 OS, no optical drives, USB dongle for wireless, legacy peripherals. And it still cost north of $1000.

My question: would it be worth it trying to sell this brand-new tower to get this HP deal instead? I've never even built a PC before, much less sold one. What's the best channel, eBay? Craiglist? Is there usually much interest in used systems vs. individual parts? What's a fair price to ask? Any good guides for doing this safely and properly? Etc.

Holy shit. I just impulse bought this, along with the Asus ROG Swift PG278Q (1440p 144hz g-sync monitor) from Amazon.

I already bought a 4790k/970 "Steambox" (but with Win10) last year. And that's on top of the multiple desktops I already had. I can't believe I'm buying this, but the price for the hardware is just insane. The above-mentioned 970 system cost over $1400! This surpasses all the hardware I currently have for a steal. Wow.

Does anyone know if it would be easy to just take this out of the Hp case and out it into my existing tower?

I'm thinking a couple things
- I already have a good PSU so I wouldn't need to buy the PSU upgrade to the 500W at that point
- I have a nice Fractal case that looks sharp and I really like
- any downsides?

Yeah i did as well and I only just got the shipping notification. almost like they had no parts stock, but kept taking orders with April estimate. Then got parts and built and shipped the most recent orders first.

Heating/ventilation is the definitely a concern with this. When HP built this those weren't top priority for them. People who bought it last time have set a custom curve where if the GPU heats up to X the fans kick up to 100%. Just ask the people who have it how it fares for them. It seems decent enough.

If you already have a case and PSU (and maybe SSD/HDD). You'd be better off buying the components instead of this pre-built. You'll have better quality components, better warranty, more OC potential, more features and room for upgrades.

I'm also wondering if it would be possible to swap the parts into a different case to help alleviate heat that builds up.

I'd still be using the included 500W PSU that mine came with but it seems kind of silly to have an awesome PC like this and then cram it into a case that really doesn't need to be that small. I have more than enough room in my office for a full sized tower so I really have no need for the case to be as small as the one they use.

I know it'll be a hassle to go through, but I'm just wondering if the parts would be compatible with standard form factors or if there's any sort of proprietary parts to the mobo or case that would make swapping impossible?

For those of you using this to make the jump from consoles to PC, what games are you gonna scoop up first and what are you looking forward to?

I'm going to get Squad and The Witcher 3. Not sure what else is coming to get pumped about.

Additional Question. Does this setup provide the ability to grab a different MOBO and 980ti and upgrade in the future? I know I'm going to be good for a while, just wondering really.

Dark souls 3 is probably going to be the first game I play just because of the release timing. Not the greatest graphical test, but i'm sure 1440p 60fps dark souls action will blow me away nevertheless.

Star Citizen. I've had it backed for a very long time and haven't been able to play it until now.

I purchased one about a week ago and it gave me the wrong graphics card, so I cancelled that and now i'm still waiting for the refund to go through.

It better go through quick because I don't want to miss this opportunity.

Star Citizen

Sea of Thieves is another one I'll grab this year. I wish I wouldn't have put so much time into The Division, or I'd be all over that.

Stephen's Sausage Roll

Overwatch, Obduction, replaying the Witcher 3, future indies I can't play on PS4 like Below and Cuphead, and VR stuff next year probably.

Also I was thinking about picking this up for a monitor.

I am in the market for a monitor as well but this looks to be a little overkill for me. Is G-Sync really godlike? I mean I can afford it but I would rather not spend that much on a monitor if possible.
