HP has cut $2,200 off its Omen Max 45L gaming desktop, dropping the price to $4,799.99 for a complete system built around an RTX 5090 GPU, 64GB of DDR5 RAM, a 2TB SSD, and an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor. That price is roughly $30 less than what the RTX 5090 graphics card alone currently costs at retail, making the entire prebuilt machine effectively cheaper than one of its components.
