So i am saving up to build a pc and I'm 15 years old. I currently have $400 saved up for http:// this pc. I know black friday is coming up so i was wondering how much $$ i can expect off hardware components. I will probably get another $200 before then plus maybe a little bit more. Anyway i was wondering how much $$ off i can expect from the hardware. Because i was either going to buy it on black friday or with money i get from christmas. But this is my first build so i dont know how much the hardware cost will be on Black friday.

Expect 0% off. Look for the best price on your chosen component.

What is on sale today might not be on sale tomorrow. Or may be cheaper next week. Or more expensive.
If you try to chase the best possible price, you will end up waiting forever.

Black Friday is VASTLY overrated.

last year I had a few parts in a wish list thing and then a black Friday came around like 3 weeks and funny the parts regular priced in the old list were cheaper then they were on the sale day.. so it seemed it was showen as a higher price then it was regularly and then had the nice black Friday sale price on it that was more then it was regular price 3 weeks ago ..

best do your home work on items your interested in and mark things down to check if the sale is a true sale

If you don't get too set on those specific components you can likely snag a good deal or combo on them in the next month. Black friday and Cyber Monday are grossly overrated, there are great deals on a few things just to get people to go shopping and buy other things that aren't marked down at all.

I agree with 13thMonkey, you can trim a fair amount off of that build with no impact.

Large scale scheduled sales like Black Friday are designed to heavily discount old in-stock items that the stores wish to get rid of, in order to make room for new products being released or stocked between US Thanksgiving and Christmas.

So unless you are looking at "trailing edge" components to really keep the price down, it won't offer many deals you want to take advantage of. Exceptions such as cases, power supplies, optical drives and stuff that is rarely outdated can be potential sources of savings.

Typically most enthusiasts want key computer components that have are no more than half way through their expected available (selling) lifetime. This avoids the premium pricing when a new product is first released, and avoids faulty firmware in brand new products, yet keeps the performance value per dollar spent high enough to be a sensible compromise.
