Should I build my PC now or wait for Black Friday/Cyber Monday?

I have been waiting since August to build a PC. I kept putting it off with the release of new technology (Snow Leopard, Windows 7, ATI 58XX series, etc.) and I want to build my PC already. However, since I've already waited since August, I'm willing to wait until Black Friday/Cyber Monday for some "potentially" good deals to arise.

Anyone with experience from previous Black Friday/Cyber Monday's, were there good deals on PC parts?

Just WAIT, ffs it's not long now and the deals will be sick.

If you decide to buy a 5800 though you can buy that as soon as you can find it in stock, that card isn't going to be discounted on Black Friday.

In fact because supply can't keep up with demand the price of the 5800 cards have gone up.

Keep in mind though on Black Friday you will probably be able to get 4890's for about 150 bucks. 2 of them would be significantly faster than even a 5870 so that might be the better way to go unless you were planning to do an Eyefinity setup.

Im wondering the same thing, but I'm gonna have a guess and say its something to do with Friday the 13th, which happens to be this week.

As for Cyber Monday, I have no idea, can someone shed some light?

Don't you guys have Boxing Day?

[QUOTE="Daytona_178"][QUOTE="Lockedge"] I second this. Only this year I've heard of these sales. Apparently they're great, but are only in the states. I've never noticed any decent sales here in Canada around this time of year.smc91352
