Currently planning a budget build - purchase advice needed (black friday/cyber monday)

nathanmilligan1 · Nov 5, 2015

So I'm currently planning on building an i5 Haswell desktop and have just purchased my processor. I was about to start purchasing more components and wondered whether waiting until Black Friday would be sensible. I think it's fair to say I am new to purchasing components and building so I have never sought a deal on GPU/RAM before in the BF/CM sales; could anybody give some advice on whether to wait and what kind of deals I can expect to see from which retailers? Thank you in advance

DO NOT RUN THE MOTHERBOARD AND RAM THIS IS DDR4 FOR THE HASWELL E PLATFORM (Socket 2011-3/i7 5XXX CPU's)

For a haswell i5 powering a 1080P monitor this will be fine:
