Newegg question - CPU combo deals

[Jamin43]

I'm watching a few processors on NewEgg - going to jump on one in the next 1-3 months for a first build.

One thing I've noticed is the combo deals - varying from MOBO's to RAM - to bunch of other things.

The Phenom II's have a note the MOBO deals are gone by the 1st of next month.

Does Newegg pretty much always have cpu / MOBO combos all year round - just rotating the boards / deals available month to month. Or if I see something that looks interesting - is it an act now or forever miss that deal - OR - do certain processors have hot deals ala New Processors / Old processors - etc? How do they mix up the selections?

I want to better understand how they price things so I can adjust my buying habits to get the most bang for my buck.

Thanks

Yes, they have deals on various things (CPU/MoBo, CPU/GPU, CPU/RAM/MoBo, etc.) year-round. However, they might not always be the exact same. As far as 'act-now', not really necessary unless you see a *really* good combo, which at this time of the year, probably won't happen.
