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.

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.
