i wouldnt touch another msi pro series mobo after dealing with their nightmare z690 pro. GL with that. Killer deal if it was any other mobo besides asrock.

I completely agree. My buddy and I both did builds with the MSI Pro Z690 and both ran into the issues of losing our Windows 11 activation doing a BIOS update a couple months later. It was hell trying to get Microsoft to reactivate.
I've been looking for an i9 combo deal from Newegg, and I almost pulled the trigger on this combo, but the problem is the memory. It comes with 32GB but I wanted 64. If I look to add a 64GB package (2x32GB), the CAS latency of 36 kinda screws me up. I can't find anything that combo from Corsair in the RGB Vengeance line. I want to keep the32GB and upgrade to the 64GB at least, but I really don't want to sell the 2x32GB module.
I'll wait for a processor/mobo combo without the ram so I don't have to play games with matching timings.

Do you think 13900k might get lit cheaper if 14th gen releases next month?

You can just add a 2nd 2x16 kit for 64GB total. Or buy a nicer 64GB kit that will look the same with better timings for 96GB total and run them at the looser ones of the 32GB kit.

If we look at the history of the processor pricing, the 12th gen i9 went from $600 to $500 in October, and then to around $400/$350 in December.
The 13th gen started around $600 and moved to $550 in Feb. I think some of the sales you're seeing is getting the i9 into the $500 or less range. Depending on stock and perceived demand, I would think that you'll be seeing price discounts soon.

You post this every MSI mobo bundle thread and yet NO one else on here including me has had any major issues with them. Not to mention this is a Z790 with not many but all 5 star reviews on Newegg.

I just build 2 system with the combo from micro center 12900k cpu with msi motherboards. Pro z690a wifi. Working perfectly fine.

I just build 2, 12900k system. Feel like I should wait for 13900k to drop 😂

Without a crystal ball or time machine it's always the game you play. That being said much like Nvidia don't expect any blowout prices from Intel now if ever. My 12700K is still only $23 bucks less at Microcenter than I paid at launch and 14th gen near!

I've always heard bad things about using ram with different CL timings. I know it is supposed to work at the slowest speed for all memory, but if you look around, you'll see the reports of people complaining about instability when you mix RAM like that.

I agree. I did a build a couple months ago, and all the 11th, 12th, and 13th gen CPUs were effectively the same price to performance. More expensive CPUs performed better, but there weren't any real deals to be had.

You cannot unless you are OK with running them at 4800 MT/s or less
