I plan on building my first computer around Black Friday, (500$ range) and am curios if I will get an even better component price then I would on the daily deals you get in your email? (i.e Radeon HD 7850 140$ including rebate, usually $180)
Is it worth the wait to get it all on Cyber Monday and such in all one go or piece by piece..?
Any help appreciated, thanks!

Parts are usually cheaper around Black Friday/Cyber Monday and that really has held true for SSDs in recent years, but you can get some parts like cases and power supplies cheaper on an item by item basis watching sales.

I pretty much shop constantly and stockpile to do all my builds -- I still have a ton of really cheap DDR3 4GB sticks that I stocked up on when it hit the floor a while back.

If you have time just watch for an irresistible deal on each part.

There is absolutely no way to predict that the specific parts that you want will be cheaper today, a week from now, or around the holiday season.

Buy the parts you want, when you want, at the best price you see.
Wait til Black Friday, and some specific part may have been cheaper 3 weeks before.

What do you do with all those computers you build?

I sell them. I just built two new ones on Monday. It's just a hobby that started about 30 years ago, and now friends of friends call me all the time for new custom builds. Lately the big thing has been HTPCs in the Silverstone cases that look like stereo components, although it seems that a desktop replacement cycle for my builds about 5-6 years ago is starting. Frequently, they ship me their old machine to get their data off and don't want it back, so I refurb them and give them to folks that can't afford to buy a computer and to groups like churches.

I save up common parts like memory, HDDs and optical drives and buy cases/PSUs when they are a really good deal. The more expensive stuff like CPUs and GPUs vary more so I usually wait until a specific order.

People like highly customized machines with all their software loaded, and that depends part on each individual of course.

I mostly buy from Newegg and Amazon.
