Is this a good deal?

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


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?

I think the deal is decent, 32 gb is overkill.

IMO , it should handle your fortnite needs on qhd 100 fps. if you are willing to tone the settings to medium.

That's a pretty decent deal, the only thing dragging it down would be the last gen CPU but if you build your own it would be about $200 - $300 more with OS license but you can get a better CPU and GPU that way.

But it can run 1080p at max probably right? (I will probably do 1080p on max over 1440 on medium)

I found out that this has a bronze rating 500w power supply ( dont know the brand). Is this enough power to run 7700k + a 1070 card?

Yeah I would definitely ask about that. I have a rule that if you cannot find information about the included power supply, do not buy, and I can't emphasize that enough. Because if they do not include a good PSU, a lot of the time you can't replace it yourself due to non standard form factors, and some might even void your warranty if you attempt to. A lot of the times most OEMs include power supplies of questionable quality. Dell has got a lot better about that, and I think HP has followed suit but a good majority of vendors out there do not include good PSUs with their systems.

Thats a better pc for the same money . as well as ditching the generic & proprietary hp motherboard ,you get a fully fledged msi z370 gaming board & a decent cooler.

You lose 16gb ram & the secondary hard drive.
You gain a far better cpu & a 512gb ssd.

It'll cost you what? $40 for a 1tb hard drive extra & youve got a much more future proof system.

It’s not a diy prebuilt but a hp prebuilt, expect a bit better quality assurance as these desktop spec do have to a minimum test at the factory prior to production.

1080p gaming should be fine, and psu should work fine for a few years as well. Won’t be overkill but should be adequate .
