I've read that some people say no and some people say yes to cybermonday. I want to know if i will actually save a lot of money if i wait on my pc build or just buy everything now? ( Have nothing for my build so far). It's 1800 dollar build, i want to know from experience if you guys have saved a lot from cyber monday or if you didn't. Because My friend had a build for 1600 dollars and waited for cyber monday and got it down to 900 dollars but then my other friend (didn't buy his build on cybermonday but last october or something) and he said "you might save 50 dollars or something..." So which one is it, Cybermonday worth it or not?

there two issues with pc parts today. one that every few months new hardware hits and the stuff that was new goes on sale and clearance. right now intel/nvidia and amd are all having foundry issues. intel brodwell chips should have been out by now. by the time they do come out latter this year a few months after they drop the newer skylake cpu are dropping.

I find that the whole month of November has pretty good deals, especially at Newegg. However, you can still get very good deals any time of the year if you are patient and watch prices. When I'm about to build I watch pcpartpicker daily for at least a month and seize the opportunity of something on sale.

My experience while most the time the 'deals' tend to be stuff that really they are dumping as unsupported going forward and / or really isn't powerful enough for what is released at Xmas time. So for example they drive down a 750ti to $69, that is a great savings but you can't really play the latest (COD:AW, AC:Unity, WatchDogs, etc.) with it, so yeah you save money but then you need to buy a new card a few months later when the prices 'jack back up'.

What I did was go down to the stores themselves, the couple weeks before Black Friday, because they get rid of last of stock items or out of box ones, that you can pick up for a steal. Usually grab a 'pre built' then go and add the extra PSU or GPU necessary to meet the demands. For example I picked up a i5 laptop for only $249 for my wife and runs nice and smooth even now, but you can't normally get that price.
