Newegg Sells Ryzen 9 9850X3D and RX 9070 XT Bundle for $978, Cutting Nearly $200

$978.98 buys an AMD Ryzen 9 9850X3D and Radeon RX 9070 XT at Newegg, putting the combo at an all-time low and nearly $200 below typical combined pricing.
The savings come largely from the GPU side: the ASRock Challenger RX 9070 XT sells for about $700 on its own, versus a $600 MSRP the card rarely hits, effectively valuing it near $500 in the bundle.
The package pairs that card with a Ryzen 9 9850X3D currently listed around $475, an 8-core, 16-thread chip with 96MB of L3 cache that the report says is AMD's best gaming CPU tested.
The deal targets builders still facing expensive graphics cards, offering a 1440p-to-4K-ready pairing at a time when broader PC component pricing remains volatile.
With AI demand causing severe shortages, is this 'great' PC bundle deal simply an illusion for most builders?
Will the AI gold rush permanently price average gamers out of the high-end PC market, making deals like this a final farewell?
