Is the hp omen 17t with specs below a good buy or is there any better options?
PS: pretty tight with the budget

I think you could do better with this build. It's within your budget and gives you more power to play with. Or are you looking for only a gaming laptop?

You could go for something like this. The screen is a little smaller but that makes it easier to port around. It also has an empty HDD bay to throw whatever HDD you want in there. The 256GB SSD inside will be a major help for load times and it has 16GB of RAM vs the 12GB in the Omen. Also, it's only $999 which means you have room to play with.
