No decent Labor Day hot deals worth posting?

Have not found any myself, after browsing Newegg's preview. Admittedly didn't go through like the 1500 items just quickly glanced.

I would assume the gift
Is that a legit game bundle dealio or not really great?
I assume the game gifts are legit, as the seller is directly Newegg. Looks like it is probably using Ubisoft connect? Not sure.

Good finds @Shmee

For those that no longer shop Newegg because of their many shenanigans:

Best Buy and Amazon have the 13700K for $5 less with 5% cash back if you have their cards. My local BB has 1hr pickup on it. Hot deal on probably the best all arounder CPU right now.

The 7850X3D is the same price at Amazon+cash back, prime shipping, and Starfield. That's a hell of a deal for the best gaming CPU with the best performance per watt to top it off.

I am hoping the 7800XT shows up in a couple of days for $500 with Starfield premium. That'd be a hot deal. May not move the needle on performance, but RDNA3 has some nice feature upgrades over RDNA2. No reason no to pick it at the same price.

Newegg has a 12700KF, MB and DDR4 combo for $350. https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4562504

Intel Core i7-12700KF - Core i7 12th Gen Alder Lake 3.6 GHz Desktop Processor and ASRock Z690 Pro RS ATX Intel Motherboard and G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory​

They did have have some i7, mb, DDR5 combos but those have dried up for now. They were priced around $415-$425 as a comparison.

12th gen i5 intel combos here. https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=4812 100007671 601393094&Order=1&isdeptsrh=1

That's a hot combo alright. I'd be all over it, but Primat would make me narfle the Garthok for getting more hardware I don't need.

https://www.newegg.com/msi-rx-6650-xt-mech-2x-8g-oc/p/N82E16814137737?Item=N82E16814137737 probably best GPU deal under $300 on Newegg. $249 price with Starfield, but there is also a promo code for $15 off. But they don't tell you the promo code discount, have to add it to your cart to see the amount. Also comes with a $15 MIR if you want to bother with that, so up to $30 off total.

I saw two RX 6600 sales for $209, which are ok, but if you can get an RX 6650XT for just $10 more, I figure that makes more sense.

- Ehhh its a deal but its a pretty lukewarm deal.

Sort of expect 6650's to be in the $230-200 range as it is and frankly 6600's shouldn't be a dime over $180 brand new.
