An HP Omen MAX 45L equipped with an Nvidia RTX 5090, 32GB RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD drops close to the $3,900 my 5090 Pre-Built benchmark price when stacking the AWAKENING25 (or BYESUMMER25) promo codes alongside EPP discounts.

Pricing Breakdown:AMD Ryzen 7 9700X Variant: $3,942
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Variant: $4,120

Paying a $178 premium for the 9800X3D makes sense if your primary focus is pure gaming, as its 96MB 3D V-Cache delivers roughly 15–20% higher average FPS and noticeably better 1% low frame times. However, if you want a lower baseline cost or need a balanced rig for productivity and gaming, the 9700X is the smarter play.
