    Im wondering if it is worth holding off until Black Friday to buy parts for a build. Any idea on an overall percentage that might be saved on a build and what are the likelihood of specific parts being available on sale or would it be more likely it would be picking things from a very limited list?

    I'm pretty much just hoping I can find a 240Gb+ SSD for 2016 prices.

    While funny, you get good deals on SSD's around end of year.

    I have a good idea of my build (a few threads below this one) and am thinking a combination of black Friday or cyber Monday or whatever they are called, and adverts/donedeal or CEX might save me a a few quid, and then stump up for the rest after the sales.

    Hopeful black Friday will see some good deals on SSD and maybe Ddr4 Ram and case. I'm guessing won't be deals on things like ryzen cpus, mobos and gpus like gtx1060 gpu or similar but worth stalling in case? I'm not in a mad rush....

    Will keep an eye out for a nice deal on a 4Tb drive. Not exactly an exciting purchase but a necessary one :)
