Shopping for the right gaming tech can be a daunting prospect. The earliest games could run on just about any computer, from high-portability laptops to office desktops. More recently, there can be tons of options and price points to navigate. Combined with a huge variety of games, it can be especially difficult to know what you need and how much you should spend.
Bundling hardware can be an easy way to save time shopping: from beginners just getting their start to professionals that need to swap out a set of aging peripherals quickly. The advantage of a gaming PC bundle is simplicity and savings. Gamers get a full slate of compatible hardware at a discounted checkout price, no easter egg hunt necessary.

Maximizing your gaming experience with HP
Now that you know what’s available, let’s talk about how to optimize your gaming experience with HP. In particular, you should take advantage of HP OMEN and HyperX’s NGENUITY software to customize and manage your experience. That includes RGB lighting for a variety of peripherals, but also combos and presets that can impact how you game.
Another important point to consider is future-proofing.

Despite the myth that every piece of your gaming system must be bespoke, the advantages of a gaming bundle are significant for new gamers and professionals alike. New players can save money getting started, and professionals can save money keeping their systems up-to-date.
What's the longevity of an HP gaming PC in a bundle?
The specific lifespan of a gaming PC depends on the exact specifications and usage, but PC bundles include the same features and functionality as standalone computers.

Developing a variety of custom lighting presets is a great way to make your gaming setup more distinctive, while user features like HyperX’s NGENUITY software opens up a universe of potential for unique playstyles.
The long and short of it is, bundles help gamers save money and time shopping Whether it’s a dedicated gaming PC and monitor bundle, or just the peripherals you need to finish getting yourself into the game, HP has a variety of options to consider.
