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.

Yeah, I guess I do need to make the decision sooner or later. How much did you save on using an adapter card for WiFi and Bluetooth instead of an all included motherboard? Just curious. Thanks!

I saved about 100 euros. I was looking at a motherboard with wifi and bluetooth included that was about 280 euros. I got one without for 156. Then, I ordered TP-Link adapters that connect via USB that cost about 18 euros each. I'm getting 25 euros cash back from ASUS for the motherboard. I can afford to give up the USB ports because the motherboard has 8 USB connectors. If you wanted to get a card, well, I think that could be cheaper than USB dongles, depending on where you buy it. I went with the dongles because they're easy to sell later if I decide I don't want them anymore.

Wow. That sounds like a sweet deal. Thanks for the advice !
