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. Certain accessories do appear to count towards the 4 item requirement now, newegg has changed this. The maximum discount solely from the 15% promotion is $200 (this doesn't impact additional discounts, combo savings beyond $200 still apply). The promotion "Ends 5/25/25 at 11:59 P.M. PT. or until funds last."
The cooler master hyper 212 v3 included as in the example combo of my original deal post was selected as the filler item since it's actually useful in conjunction with the other components, but at $27 ($20+$7 shipping), its not actually the cheapest filler item, you can technically get the example combo for cheaper.
The cheapest qualifying items I've found (to use as filler) are as follows: "G.SKILL AEGIS Model F3-1333C9S-4GIS" 4gb ddr3 ram for $11.99 (memory category), "Bgears b-Pellucid Mini - White, Steel + Tempered Glass, ABS + Mesh BG30149" fan for $24.99 (case category), "Silicon Power Ace A55 SU128GBSS3A55S25AE" 128gb sata ssd for $16.99 (storage category, under ssd), "Super flexible PSU extension cables, 1 x PCIe 8pin (6+2)" for $17.99 (cooler category, under fan/heatsink), "MSI HS01 Headset Stand, Metallic Design, Cell Phone Holder, Non-Slip" for $19.99 (accessories category, under headset). You may need to disable compatibility checker (toggle at the top right of the pc builder tool) for some of these items to be visible.
The deal thread for the previous iteration this promotion can be found here: https://slickdeals.net/f/18296680-newegg-combos-15-discount-with-4-items-example-gigabyte-b650e-aorus-elite-x-ice-mobo-2tb-wd-sn850x-ssd-32gb-corsair-ram-cooler-master-hyper-212-cpu-cooler-304-47
Additional example combos will go here (I might edit this comment with more stand-out example combos if anything jumps out at me):
GIGABYTE B650E AORUS ELITE X AX ICE ATX Mobo + CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5 6000 CMH32GX5M2E6000C36W Ram + WD_BLACK 2TB SN850X WDS200T2X0E Ssd ( https://www.newegg.com/Product/Co...bo.4782454 ):
With "Super flexible PSU extension cables, 1 x PCIe 8pin (6+2)", $291.53.
With "Cooler Master Hyper 212 Spectrum V3 CPU Air Cooler", $300.22.
With "AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D" (must be sold by newegg, manually select newegg as the seller on the product page then add to build list: https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-...6819113793 ), $572.04.
With "AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D" (much more expensive and not worth it over the 7800x3d imo, but some people just want the best), $691.89.
With "AMD Ryzen 9 7900X" (comes with free 1tb ssd), $552.71.
Alternatively, if you're dead set on the 9800x3d (much more expensive than the 7800x3d for a 10%-15% uplift in gaming performance), you can pair the 9800x3d with said combo for $691.89.
In conclusion: if you're not using your computer for anything more cpu intensive than gaming, the 9600x is superior. If you need a significant amount of multithreaded performance, or would benefit from intel quicksync, the 12700k is superior. If you end up going with the 12700k, make sure to get a board that supports ddr5, and you'll need a significantly better cooler and psu (due to the far higher power draw under load).

will pair with my 9070xt Devil power color... Is the Cooler adequate or should I dump it for something else? suggestion needed. That patriot memory scares me, I should have read the review - will see if it works.
Is 700W PSU from Thermalake enough for 9600X & or 7800X3D ?
Recommend some good PSU at a good price which are GPU compatible in future please?

EDIT: The CM Hyper 212 is probably fine for the 9600x at default 65W. Really pushing it though to try and use it with a 9950x3d 170W TDP CPU.
No direct comparison found after a quick search, but here's Hyper 212 Black vs PS120SE:

700W is fine for CPU, just use a tool like PSU Calculator [pc-builds.com] or anything like that to validate for your system (a 5090 Ti Ultra Super Duper Gaming OC Edition might want 1kW). Various brands have these (EVGA, SeaSonic, Corsair, etc) available on their website too. Use them!
You are correct, after trying some different filters I found it again. Appreciate the push.
You are right. I have had a crazy day. I should have said 250 dollars.

I almost always just get an Arctic 3 AIO.. Can get a "b-stock" unit straight from Arctic for $70 on ebay. Have got a few of them, they look brand new..

I am not gaming. Just want a fast computer with built in GPU.
