HP OMEN 880-037c Desktop Computer; Intel Core i7-7700K Processor 4.2GHz; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5; 32GB DDR4-2400 RAM; 256GB SSD+1TB HDD


Hey there I just found this desktop in the microcenter near my home for $1299, really itching to buy this given it has a SSD and 32 gb of RAM. Only concern is that it has a 1070 and not a 1080

I just bought a QHD 144hz G sync monitor, wlll the 1070 be able to push 100+ fps on QHD for games like fortnite?

If not I don't mind playing at 1080p, but i just want ot know if 1299 is a good deal for this desktop?

Yes, that is a very good price, must be Microcenter. Memory and GPU prices remain sky high and this has significant value for those.
