Great Prebuilt

I've had this PC right at 3 years now. Overall, I can say this is a solid prebuilt. I've had minimal issues with it. When I say minimal, I'm basically saying nonexistent. I ended up upgrading/adding hard drive space and RAM because I just wanted more just in case I needed it for streaming or what not. When I bought it it was considered a high-end PC but now I would consider it maybe the higher end of mid-tier. It still has no issues playing AAA titles but you're not going to be playing at ultra quality because it just can't quite handle the newer titles at that level with a smooth enough framerate.
I would definitely recommend to anyone getting into PC gaming without the hassle of worrying too much about needing to upgrade hardware. It is "pretty much" plug and play as long as you know a thing or two about getting it set up.

I don’t do any heavy gaming, but will be jumping around between my day trading platform, charting, streaming and chat. This setup is a little overkill for me personally, but it’s a relief to know that you have the tools to succeed and won’t be limited by your equipment. The tower also leaves plenty of room for additional upgrades in the future too.

Go buy this system! You won't be disappointed.
I just bought this from Best Buy last week after reviewing all the HP OMEN desktop options vs the competitors (Dell, Alienware, Asus, Acer, CyberPower, Cybertron, etc.) over the past 2 months. After thorough reviews on several sites (Toms, PCWorld, PCMag, Amazon, CNet, ComputerShopper, etc.) and Google searches, I convinced myself to go ahead and go with this system. AMD produces some great processors like the RYZEN 9, 7, & 5 and are very stable, yet can be overclocked with ease if you want more horsepower. While AMD may not equally compete with some of the top-line Intel chips out there, they come fairly close and generally are far less expensive. (Check out cpu.userbenchmark.com for comparisons of CPU, GPU, RAM, HDD's, etc.) I've never gone wrong utilizing an AMD processor. The bang for the buck on this system CANNOT be beat! You seriously cannot build your own system right now with these same components and features for any cheaper than this system. Great AMD RYZEN 7 1700 Eight-Core Processor in this system, great NVidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU for high-end gaming (no need for a higher end, vastly more expensive 1080ti as that's way overkill for most games now available), 16GB of Samsung RAM (more than enough for 98% of all games and programs out there today, including VR 4k-intensive games!), an ample 256GB SSD on the board that is perfect for running the Windows 10 OS off of, plus some vital everyday usage applications/programs. The 1TB WD (Blue - Everyday) HDD is 7200RPM and adequate for this system for most people, but I have already added another two 6TB HDD's in the hot-swap bays to give myself some extra gaming/video space. I'll pull the 1TB out and add another 8TB HDD when it comes in. That'll be 20TB of total space on the three HDDs plus the 256GB SSD for me.
The system is fully capable of being upgraded, including adding a more powerful RYZEN 7 processor if needed in the future, swapping out the SSD, adding more HDDs, etc. The features this system offers is actually very impressive for the cost (currently on sale at BB for $1349). Bluetooth, wired ethernet & AC wifi, a high-end processor, high-end GPU, DVD-RW multi-drive, SD card reader, total of 6 USB 3 connections (4 on the back, 2 on the top), 2 USB 2 connections on the back, 2 USB C connections, HDMI/DisplayPort connections on the GPU (for adding 3 monitors if you want! I bought myself a 40" Samsung 4K 6300 TV and utilizing that as my monitor, so no current need for any other monitors, but can add more if needed.), Windows 10 Home edition, and very little bloatware added!
My only real CONS that I have is 1) the smaller sized 256GB SSD - would have been nice for maybe a 512GB size, but I will only utilize it for the Win 10 OS and a few other programs... everything else can run from my 7200RPM HDDs. 2) Windows 10 HOME instead of Pro (I'm still a fan of Windows 7 Pro.) 3) the 1TB HDD could have easily been a 3 or 4TB size, but is easily swapped out to a larger size.
A little about me - 44yrs old, Software Sales Engineer, power computer user, have built and designed desktop systems for over 20yrs, gamed on laptop/desktop rigs since 1987, worked for Best Buy For Business for 2 years with emphasis on computer hardware/software sales, ran my own computer consulting/repair business for years, and generally know my way around computers - Unix, Linux, Apple, IBM-based, Intel, AMD, etc.

Start up is extremely quick. Built a equivalent pc on pc part picker. Price was $3000 more. Plug and play hard drives are really convenient. So far extremely pleased.
