If you have any difficulties replicating these prices, please keep in mind that all items MUST be "sold and shipped" by newegg, and have the "Combo for an additional 15% off" banner in the pc builder. While you can still select backordered items in the builder, backordered items do NOT count towards the 4 item requirement. If an item is sold at a substantially lower price by a third party (such as the 2tb sn850x in the example combo), the pc builder defaults to the third party listing and doesn't appear to give an option to select the version sold by newegg. However, this can be worked around. If the items are part of a combo, you can go to the combo page and click the the "Build with it" or "Add to PC build list" button beneath the "add to cart button" to add those items to the pc builder tool. Alternatively, you can go to the individual items page, manually change the seller to newegg, and then click the the "Build with it" or "Add to PC build list" button.
It appears you need to add items from four different categories to qualify, adding additional items from a single category doesn't appear to work. For example, if you select two different qualifying ssds, you still need to select items from three other categories for the promotion to apply. Accessories don't appear to count towards the 4 item requirement at all. The maximum discount solely from the 15% promotion is $150 (this doesn't impact additional discounts, combo savings beyond $150 still apply). The promotion "Ends 5/6/25 at 11:59 P.M. PT. or until funds last." Usually newegg prevents promo codes from stacking with combo savings, so I believe this may be an oversight on their part. I wouldn't be surprised if newegg suddenly blocks this promotion from stacking with combos.
The examples in my deal post are just a couple off the top of my head, there are many more combinations which are viable. The cpu cooler and 128gb ssd I've used in my examples are simply the cheapest qualifying items.

States the total cost is $411, but when i Add to Cart, it jumps up to $700. Any ideas whats going on here?
Edit: Opened that link in incognito and its showing the appropriate price in cart. Weird.
MicroCenter! Here I go!
AMD Ryzen 5 9600X + GIGABYTE B650M mATX + 32GB Corsair DDR5 + 500GB Patriot M.2 SSD $344 + Free Ship...
You can add a Cooler Master Elite 301 Micro-ATX Case [newegg.com] to it and a Thermaltake 600W PSU [newegg.com] and have it all for $356. This gives you a complete build.
I feel that it deserves a thread of its own, but I am not sure what the rules / sentiment is on posting a spinoof thread off of an existing deal.

Do you have more insight on this? I feel like I have noticed the same thing since using the site for 10+ years but I am unsure why/how it is happening.
wait. I even bought the 9600x in this bundle too! I should call and ask about editing my order to include free shipping
Most deals here aren't deals, but just sponsored ads.
This used to be like reddit, where legit users actually tried to post real deals. Now half the deals is posted by "staffs"
I had jumped to the conclusion that it had an air cooler because it is retail packaged. But I now realize that AMD stopped including coolers with their X and higher end CPUs.

Wish I wasn't a day late to seeing this (I saw it yesterday) since I've been considering an x3d upgrade since grabbing a 9070xt. That combo you posted is unreal for the price and sets a new benchmark for me now.
