I am looking forward to building my first PC and wanted to get advice on if there are any specific month/events (Eg: Black Friday) with discounts on PC parts that I should wait for.

Are you in the USA? Black Friday would be one such day. Amazon Prime Days might be good too. I recall some of the holidays there can have good sales, I have a vague memory of picking up pretty cheap CF cards off Amazon US during either 4th July or Labour Day or some US holiday.

Yup, I am in the US. I do see some offers but a lot of what I have heard is they jack up the prices before and for big events like Black Friday and then give a discount on it. So it doesn't make sense as it might not be that far off from the original price. Maybe Labor day and other holidays could have better offers.
