New egg PC builds discounts?

New egg has a pc builder discount that just expired yesterday. Does anyone know how often they do these discounts? 2 days ago i decided to build myself a 1440p monster and looked up the parts on new egg i went to the pc builder and it said qualified parts get a 10% discount and basically all the parts i added were part of the deal. I added the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D(comes with a free Rosewill VSB 750W psu), ,ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 9070 XT, MSI X870E motherboard, and an MSI MAG Coreliquid A15 360 Black for only $1350! It was basically $150 bucks off.
I saw it on 4/25 It said the deal was over on 4/27/26 but on 4/26 around 8pm when i was gunna pull the trigger the deal had expired due to the timezone difference. So i was pretty bummed out. It now totals to $1495. What im wondering is if they do these kind of deals often. I havnt been on new egg much since last year when i built my wifes pc. If its every few weeks then ill wait because saving every dollar counts especially with the ram prices but if its months apart then ill just buy it.
Note that i did buy a CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 for 250 bucks brand new off a guy on offerup to save money rather than buying it at retail price and i do have and extra ssd from my wifes build and plan on making it an open air build with a 60 dollar amazon Frame thats why its not added to the new egg list. So all in with the discount id be paying 1650 for my build but if i buy it now ill be at 1800 what do you guys think/know about the newegg discounts?

I will just say that what things they have available changes on a random basis, unfortunately.
When I originally set up my parts list, my ryzen 5 was going to come with a cooler Master elite 360 free.
24 hours later it was a rosewell PSU. And then I fat fingered putting my CPU cooler in my cart, and ordered a 240.

Going to be honest here.. I wouldn't power a 9850X3D and a RX 9070 XT with a bronze psu.. get a gold one. It's worth the extra money.
Make sure it's at least A- rated on this list.

Especially since the price difference between bronze and gold has become very small in most cases. I'd argue that gold is the standard nowadays
