Question Is this prebuilt PC okay for gaming ?

[Lorathia]

Hi guys,

I have been looking at this HP Omen PC to buy:
https://www.currys.co.uk/products/h...core-i7-rtx-4070-super-1-tb-ssd-10258308.html

It looks okay to me, but I'm also not the most tech savvy person, what do you guys think of the specs? Could it be better in any areas which might be reason to not buy it?
Also I heard Intel CPUs have some issues (not sure exactly about it) could this one have those issues too?

Thanks!

First off, HP's Omen prebuilt are known to have issues with their PSU's, motherboards and overall temps with their comopoennts since the case isn't exactly of a good design. Secondly, with all that's going on with Intel, you should avoid anything they have on the shelves.

Look into an AMD AM4/AM5 platform but just an FYI, prebuilts tend to cut corners in order for them to make a profit.

Also I heard Intel CPUs have some issues (not sure exactly about it) could this one have those issues too?
Everything Intel since the 12th Gen.

Wow okay sounds like this is a bullet that should be dodged then!
Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.

What would you recommend instead? I don't really know what I'm looking at or even where to look (I've heard PC specialist is good for customer builds)

Thank you!
