HP is at it again. There’s another huge, almost unbelievable deal to be had right now on the HP Omen Max 45L gaming PC, fitted with a 9800X3D, RTX 5090, and 32GB of DDR5 RAM for just $3,808.69 (customization required), knocking a massive $1,600 off the list price. To get the deal, however, you’ve got to buy the PC with a monitor or a $39 accessory, like a HyperX game controller. Not a bad trade for $1,600+ off a top spec rig.
The offer looks even better when you consider the price of a standalone RTX 5090. Right now, the cheapest RTX 5090 graphics card we can find in stock is this Gigabyte model over at Newegg for $3,799.99. You’re getting this entire PC, with the best gaming GPU on the market in the 9800X3D, along with fast DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD, as well as the RTX 5090, for just $8 more. Calling it epic doesn’t really do this deal justice.
Our recent HP Omen Max 45L review showcases just what an impressive beast this gaming PC is. This flagship pre-built is quiet to run and has a formidable presence, thanks to its huge case, with three 120mm fans visible from the front. Our review model differs slightly in specs, but the design remains exactly the same. This is a better deal than we’ve seen recently from HP, too, thanks to the 9800X3D.
A huge 30% saving on this HP Omen Max 45L gaming PC, fitted with an RTX 5090, 9800X3D, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, although the configuration is fully customizable. You’ll need to add a monitor or game controller like this one to get the full discount, however.
Performance, however, will differ slightly: we tested an RTX 5090 model coupled with 64GB of DDR5-600 RAM, while it did include an AMD Ryzen 9800X3D as this rig does, you’re only getting 32GB DDR5-6000 for $3,808.69. Luckily, the whole rig is fully customizable, so you can change this if you want to.
Ultimately, two components make this build unstoppable, and it’s the GPU and the CPU. You don’t really need our GPU benchmarks to tell you that the RTX 5090 is a beast: this is the best consumer graphics card you can buy right now, and it delivers the best performance money can offer, too. It ships with 21,760 CUDA cores, which is more than double the second-place RTX 5080’s CUDA count of 10,752, while also featuring a massive 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM, using a 512-bit memory bus with bandwidth up to 1,792 GB/s.
Take that GPU’s performance, and then dial it up with the 9800X3D. The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, to give it its full title, has only recently been dethroned by the 9850X3D, but don’t let that fool you into thinking this is a slouch. This is a CPU that has performance that almost no other can beat. Intel isn’t getting near it, and as our CPU benchmarks show, this 3D V-cache chip is exceptional for gamers.
The 9800X3D is an eight-core, 16-thread CPU that uses AMD’s latest Zen 5 architecture with a boost clock speed of up to 5.2 GHz. It comes fully unlocked, offering the ability to overclock it, which is a feature older X3D chips lacked. That extra L3 cache, positioned beneath the CPU cores near the integrated heat spreader, makes this all possible. CPU-hungry games won’t need to fall back on the slower RAM, so games like Cyberpunk 2077 will run like a dream. Only the 9850X3D is better, but the 9800X3D is more energy efficient, using 30% less power.
Coupled with the RTX 5090, and you’re getting it all: high frame rates, 4K, ray tracing on Ultra graphics presets. You’ve also got helpful features like Nvidia DLSS to fall back on, should you ever need to, so performance issues aren’t going to be an issue here in-game.
Other features in this pre-built HP rig include built-in Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, but you can upgrade to Wi-Fi 7 and BT 5.4 for just $5 more. It also includes a 1TB NVMe SSD with Gen 4 speeds as standard, with a second NVMe slot left spare for future upgrades (or, if budget allows, an upgrade on the config during the buying process).
This fully customizable rig comes with Kingston Fury 32GB DDR5-6000 memory as standard, as a single module. For best performance, you should spend an extra $10 for the 32GB as two modules (2 x 16GB) to go dual channel. You’ll find this will give you even better gaming performance, doubling the bandwidth between the RAM and the CPU for better frame rates.
As this rig is fully customizable, you can tweak all of these specs to suit your preferences (and budget). When you click through to HP’s website, you’ll need to click Customize & Buy, then select the 9800X3D, RTX 5090, Kingston Fury RAM (in either 1x32GB or 2x16GB configurations), a 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD, and the 1200W chassis to complete the build, then click Add to Cart.
Once that’s done, you’ll need to add a monitor or a $39 accessory to get the full $1,600+ discount. One of the cheapest we can find is this HyperX Clutch Gladiate wired gaming controller for PC and Xbox, priced at $39.99. Adding that to your cart will apply the $1,632.30 discount in full, giving you the PC for its $3,808.69 sale price.
This HyperX Clutch Gladiate controller for PC and Xbox costs $39.99 but, more importantly, adding it to your basket knocks $1,600 off the price of the HP Omen Max 45L gaming PC above. Not a bad deal.
There just isn’t a better offer for a top spec gaming PC than this one right now, and it’s significantly better value to buy this PC outright to get an RTX 5090 and a 9800X3D than it is to buy these parts separately. That includes the RAM, too, which, given the huge price rises caused by AI recently, is hugely expensive to buy alone. You’ll want to grab this HP Omen Max 45L gaming PC for $3,808.69 (or more, if you go for an even higher spec) before the deal runs out, as long as you remember to add a monitor or accessory like the one above to get the discount.
