I am currently doing a similar build in in all white

I love the lian li mini snow edition case. Biggest issue I had was finding a white GPU, you really only have the Asus Rog Strix in 3070/3080/3090 or the Gigabyte Vision which is wht and silver.

I managed to get a 3090 Asus Rog Strix white but it isnt cheap, you could get a 3080ti for the price of the 3080.

Well now I'm stuck debating buying current gen or wait for next gen. I've waited this long...
And eth merge lowering current gen prices probably.
Maybe current gen is best buy - hard to know I guess, I'm no computer expert

Personally, I believe getting the current gen. as they are heavily discounted and for a casual gamer who is not doing 3D editiing etc, we probably will not even see the difference in performance

I think building a PC in September is generally a great idea as all the new gen components are usually released in the fall. It is a great time to get amazing components at a steep discount

I would also recommend adding in 9x SL120 UNI fans from Lian li - they are great looking fan that have easy install and cable management

Not black Friday weekend?

Always an option. I am Canadian so our black friday sales are not quite the same.

Yeh Black Friday in Canada isn't as lucrative, but sometimes there are sweet deals..

I just picked up a new 4K TV (Sony A80J 65"), the price is too tempting as they're discounting 2021 models for the 2022's. Could bite me on Black Friday but I'm not waiting +8 weeks to save an extra 5% lol

On the topic of PC's, 11th gen is heavily discounted and 12th gen is coming down right now as well.
