Is it worth it to hold out until black Friday and cyber Monday weekend to buy parts if I'm building a whole new system this fall? I'm in no rush to get the system done, but I have my list put together on PCPartpicker, and as I see some deals go on, I wonder if it's going to be worth it to wait and hope for better deals then, or just buy now and not run the risk of no stock. Also, I have a Microcenter near me, I was planning to go there black Friday with a couple friends, but not really set on it if it's not gonna save me some money.

PC I'm looking at building: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mhkr4C

Currently It's $60 for the case that's usually $85, and the mobo is $20 off and very high rated.

Rarely good deals on BF/CM, but you never know.

So when a nice mobo comes up at $20 off of $75, I might as well take that now instead of waiting?

Yep. Black friday and Cyber monday...are really marketing ploys.
The best savings (other than deals at places like Microcenter) usually come in February, after the Holidays are over.

I mean every now and then one or two things will be really marked down on Black Friday. Mainly just so people "believe" in Black Friday etc.

Well I'm buying that gfx card from my roommate on black friday at the latest (he's holding out for a 1080 or 1080 ti deal), so should I just start buying parts that go on sale for now? Like the ASrock B350 pro4 mobo?
