Hey everyone! I'm planning to build my own computer, mainly to save money and upgrade it in the future. I'm curious, how much can I typically save if I wait for Black Friday? If all the components go on sale, could I save around 200-300 euros or dollars in total?

From my experience, depending on what you’re spending, you could save around 10-15%. It's not massive, but every little bit helps!
Honestly, Black Friday sales seem to be getting less appealing each year. The savings can vary quite a bit depending on what you're buying. SSDs are reasonably priced now, but RAM is a bit high. It might make sense to wait for RAM sales. You might find good discounts on CPUs as well, but GPU sales aren’t huge right now.
Beware, though! Many retailers increase prices in the weeks leading up to Black Friday just to give the illusion of a sale. If you wait, things could easily go out of stock before you get the chance.
In my area, Black Friday discounts can range from $50 to $120 on a midrange GPU, like a 5060 Ti. It's definitely worth waiting; across all components, you could still save around $200 to $300. Just remember that big retailers will have deals throughout November, not just on the day.
Right now is actually a solid time to grab a GPU—they’re on sale. You might want to snag one sooner rather than later!
