You have an i9-10900K CPU, the system being contemplated by the OP has a Ryzen 5900x CPU which runs somewhat hotter.

From the research I have done, I can find no reviews or information on the HP Omen 5900x build, only those Omen's with the Intel 10700k or 10900k. From what I have read, these HP Omens due to very poor ventilation suffer from heating issues causing the Intel CPUs to run very hot, and worse, that the 3080 GPU overheats easily and throttles down as a result which lowers its performance.

I have an HP Omen 30L, with the 10900k and an RTX 3090. Bought it in March, for about double that price. However, at that time, the 3090 alone was going for about 3500 CHF and was almost impossible to find. Not that today is any different...

Yes, ventilation is not very good, but not so bad that it hampered performances because of throttling, the biggest issue for me is the noise when all fans reach the maximum speed. It really seems an airplane...

I'd bet a $100 bill that the OP's hardware is not the problem. He's probably running the sim at 4K, with all the settings on Ultra, and then turning the Render Scaling up beyond 100 percent. My own hardware is seven years old and was by no means state-of-the-art when I purchased it. Yet I don't experience any of the stutters and other issues he's talking about. I have a GTX 1070.

You would owe me $100 dollars in that case.

Nope, I have never done that. And I did not have everything on Ultra.

I have a GTX 1080 and have no stutters either. I did however have severe stutters with the pre-build I returned and others reported similar performance issues. Hence why I returned it. I have been simming 20 years, and I am pretty tech savy at the tender age of 40 😉 Thank you though for your input 🙂

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Just a few quick questions.

Did you notice the GPU throttling back at all due to heat issues?

How did your 3D Mark Time Spy  score rank compared to similar builds? For example my former pre-build was in the bottom 8% hence the return (along with the other issues).

Does the OMEN bios or software let you overclock the CPU?

Is the memory really downclocked from 3200mhz to 2600mhz as I saw some users explain on Reddit? Does it affect MSFS performance?

Do you get microstutters in MSFS when running in 4K and frame rate unlocked?

I agree with others that the slower memory is not a big issue, hardly any issue at all.

Although Best Buy is in America, the reviews by OMEN desktop purchasers are always a good thing to consider.

Thanks for the link. I by chance came across it earlier (Best Buy is a shop I visit whenever I am in the USA to fulfill my vacation tech needs 😉). Unfortunately though there are no 5900x models or RTX 3080s in the review section.

Huh ??

What an assumption to make ...

Have you got any .. you know.... advice for him apart from your unsolicited assumption of how he uses his previous pc ?

Sheesh !!..

 

Anyways ..

I usually build my own pc but considering the fact that this looks like a decent deal i would purchase the omen system  then over time purchase the following

a decent 750 watt PSU (120 USD)

a Decent PC case ( Lian Li Lancool Mesh / Fractal Meshify 2 The new version/ Corsair 4000 D Airflow) (120USD)

a Strix or Tuf level B550 mainboard (180-200 USD)

A good 280/360 AIO (120-130 USD)

and move the parts over.

I bought a prebuilt modest system a year ago, $1150 + 8% tax (specs below, it had a 500 GB drive which I upgraded to 2 TB). I run every MSFS setting on Ultra (but only a 2K monitor, my system isn't going to run 4K or even 1440 resolution, no way).

It came with a water cooler, as time went by it kept running hotter and hotter, sometimes in MSFS over 105C. I replaced the (no name) water cooler with a $50 water cooler and now it never runs over 65C in MSFS and it is at 35C when Windows first boots up.

Any cpu can be cooled down the same way as any other, as the water impeller fan begins to fail then temps will rise. No doubt that is what happened with mine. (The really good ones usually last about 5 years according to Steve at Gamers Nexus on Youtube). Mine lasted 9 months. A cheap fix however, and now good as new.

I bought this cooler from Amazon, $50. It won't last forever. Right now it keeps everything way cool.
