I've been researching for months now on how to approach a new build and how to save on Black Friday / Cyber Monday. I've found that the average discount ranges from 25-40%. However; will these discounts apply to me. My build is as follows...

Should I purchase now or wait till Black Friday / Cyber Monday. For example the PSU in this build is normally 189.99 with discount and rebates, as of current, it is 129.99. I was also able to take advantage of microcenters 199.99 i7 4770k option. I really need an experts advice, someone who really spits game!
