How OMEN Gaming PC Models Deliver Competitive Gaming Performance with Custom Builds
If you're struggling to decide between a prebuilt and a custom PC, we have good news: HP OMEN gaming PC models offer the practicality of the former and the customization of the latter. You can configure a custom gaming PC exactly as you want and create a system that perfectly suits your gaming style. And you don't even need to read a “how to build a PC” guide to do this: HP OMEN's configuration options offer you personalized performance with expert assembly. Here, we'll discuss these customization options, what performance tailoring means, and the professional benefits such a system can provide.
OMEN Custom PC Builder Customization Options and Component Selection
You can purchase a prebuilt PC like the HP OMEN 45L and start your gaming adventure right away. However, some gamers demand more than that and want to be able to customize every part of their computer. You can easily do this for both the 45L and many other HP OMEN PCs: OMEN configuration options allow every gamer to build a system exactly as they envision it. For example, you can customize the following components for the 45L:
CPU configuration choices for different gaming styles
- Intel® Core™ Ultra7 265K (up to 5.50 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology) – For gamers who prefer 1080p and 1440p resolutions
- Intel® Core™ Ultra9 285K (up to 5.70 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology) – For gamers seeking the most immersive experience possible at 4K resolution
GPU selection for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K gaming
- NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5070 (12GB GDDR7) – The most budget-friendly option for 1080p gaming
- NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5070 (16GB GDDR7) – Ideal for 1080p gaming, but a better choice for those who prefer games that use high VRAM, such as console ports
- NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080 (16GB GDDR7) – The ideal choice for 1440p gaming and your entry point into 4K resolution for some games
- NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5090 (32GB GDDR7) – The best choice you can make for 4K gaming, and high VRAM ensures you get a future-proof graphics card
Memory and storage customization options
- Kingston FURY 16GB DDR5-6000 – Entry point to 1080p gaming
- Kingston FURY 32GB DDR5-6000 – For 1080p gaming at high graphics settings
- Kingston FURY 64GB DDR5-5600 – Ideal for 1440p gaming and productivity
- Kingston FURY 128GB DDR5-5200 – Excellent performance for 4K gaming
Other upgrades and configurations
You can also use other HP OMEN models such as the 16L and 35L to build a customizable gaming PC: choose from different customization options for each model to create a system that fits your budget and needs. Other upgrade and configuration options include:
- Storage & secondary storage: You can increase the capacity of your PC's primary storage and add a second storage device. For example, upgrading from a 512GB PCIe® Gen4 NVMe™ M.2 SSD to a 2TB PCIe® Gen4 NVMe™ M.2 SSD allows you to install more games on your computer.
- Thermal systems: You can choose between an air cooler and liquid cooling: the latter is a better option for 1440p & 4K gaming.
- Power supply: Upgrading to 80 Plus Gold certified ATX power supplies for graphics cards that consume more power, such as the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080 and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5090, ensures a system that runs more smoothly.
Don't forget that you can also make HP support services part of your customization options. For example, you can add a HP 3 Year OnSite support or a HP Care Pack to your system. The former ensures that problems with your computer are resolved at your home (if they cannot be solved remotely), while the latter allows you to protect your HP OMEN against malfunctions and accidents for a longer period of time.
PRO TIP: The most important component determining the gaming performance of a custom gaming PC is the graphics card, but it must be supported by a CPU, memory, and storage unit that are at least as powerful as the graphics card itself. Otherwise, there will be a "bottleneck" in the system, and you won't get the performance you expect from the graphics card.
OMEN Gaming PC Models Offer Tailored Gaming Performance by Genre
You can get tailored gaming performance by using a custom PC builder, because customization allows you to create a system that will deliver the ideal experience for every genre. For example, the best gaming PC for eSports players and RTS gamers will have different configurations. HP OMEN delivers superb performance even on multi-display setups and can be customized for different genres and needs with its customization options:
- FPS gaming optimizations: This genre requires a high refresh rate and low latency. You can achieve both by using a more powerful GPU and a NIC (network interface controller) developed for gamers.
- MMO and strategy game configurations: This is a genre where multitasking and processing power are more important. For this reason, a more powerful CPU and faster memory will provide you with a more ideal experience.
- Content creation builds: Tasks such as streaming, recording, and editing primarily require CPU power, memory speed, and storage capacity. You need to prioritize these when selecting components.
- 4K and VR gaming: Gamers seeking an immersive experience at high resolution should invest in a high-end graphics card first, followed by a powerful CPU. A high-performance graphics card is especially critical for VR gaming.
Instead of buying a prebuilt PC that caters to general needs, you can get a gaming PC that is completely customized to your needs by selecting each component according to your unique preferences – that's the secret to tailored performance. Whatever your needs may be, don't forget that you can achieve a much more satisfying experience by using the right gaming accessories.
