Advice on when to purchase PC parts (self.buildapc)

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.

You can look on pcpartpicker. They usually have a graph holding price history. You can see when it was last one sale and make a choice to wait or buy then. Note: I would suggest against buying parts only on sale as if you buy, say a mobo and don’t buy the rest and you can’t test it. That might leave you stuck trying to do warranty claim instead of a store return. Good luck!

Yeah I did check pcpartpciker, just wanted to get an opinion on if there are any other resources that I could use. Thanks for the advice! I will try to buy everything together to avoid the return issue.
