This could be a great year to buy a gaming PC. In 2020, we saw some amazing processors come from both AMD and Intel. Each offered a large variety of core and thread counts to cater to all parts of the enthusiast market. Those with deep pockets could even opt for some record-breaking CPUs that could be clocked to over 5 GHz right out of the box. Now we’re in the beginning stages again, as both AMD and NVIDIA are launching their next line of GPUs, with each promising awesome performance and value. Combine all of that with other tech upgrades that have come out over the last year or two, and you’ve got a recipe for a powerful gaming PC.
IThome has spotted one of the first offerings to feature NVIDIA’s new RTX 30 Series graphics cards. The new HP Omen 30L is primed for even the most demanding gamer with processor options from either AMD or Intel. CPU cooling is provided by what appears to be a 120 mm liquid AIO setup. Here’s hoping HP offers something a bit larger because that might not be the most optimum size. A 240 mm or larger radiator might be in order.

As this is just early information and not an actual press release, there are still quite a few details missing. Items such as PSU rating, other storage options, and alternate cooling solutions, just to name a few, are absent. At any rate, though, it’s not a bad way to start a gaming PC. It’s reported they are expected to be available later this year, but no prices have been announced.
