I am looking forward to building my first PC and wanted to get advice on if there are any specific month/events (Eg: Black Friday) with discounts on PC parts that I should wait for.

    Start shopping second hand locally NOW. Try your luck

    I was casually GPU shopping for a month hoping for an intel price drop on the 16GB 770 before I found a guy asking $500AUD (About $320 us) for a rx6700xt near me, the ad was 3 weeks old. I messaged him and said “Its not really the card I was shopping for but can be there with $350 ($225usd) in 10 minutes” and he said yes after a little back and forth.

    That was like 6 months ago and I still havent seen a 6700xt as cheap as what I got mine for.
