I have found similar or lower prices anywhere between 1 Nov and mid January. Or even in July.
Are your selected parts on sale? Dunno.

i have found over the past few years the deals to be hit or miss. if you building a new system you can save usually 200-500 if you look at the right parts, but i have notices that similar or better parts go on sale for cheaper through out the holiday season. just depends on what you are trying to do

From my experience, your best bet is to have tracked all year long what parts you are most interested in and decide to pull the trigger relative to the price points you've seen. After a certain savings point it gets hard to ignore. For example, when I bought my GTX 780 Classified the first price drop was from 700 down to $550. That was a year ago. More recently I bought a second 780 classy for $330. Neither were black friday nor cyber monday deals. Last week I was checking out the black friday deals and the classy is again at 330. This has more to do with the 980 release but there's no specific pattern I've observed other than marketing goes way up for all companies. There are a few great deals to be had but in general if you're not buying a TV it's more dependent on how well you've tracked certain hardware whether it be a gpu, ssd, cpu, mobo, etc. I know that doesn't directly help you but it is what it is. Best of luck to you regardless! Happy Holidays!

So so really. Except for an SSD that I was looking for and an extra standby psu, nothing was on sale from my huge list of parts at pcpartspicker.com that I wanted. BF is not what it used to be I think, or maybe it never was that big of a deal to begin with. If you look at partspicker, they have a 180 day graph of every part you are looking for and the low and high prices of each part. Also, if you happen to be in Canada for example, shopbot.ca will spot deals that are sometimes much lower than newegg or anywhere else. I picked up a monitor for $255 from another retailer that newegg had on sale for $359. Just look around.

yeah i got my classy for $550 a year ago after the price drops too. it just so happened at the time the crypto currency bitcoin/litecoin was through the roof and i was able to sell my 7950 on ebay for $385, i bought it 8 months before for $279. felt like a sweet upgrade deal for me.

I just bought an intel 4790k, Asus HeroVII MB and 16GB of GSkill RAM along with a Be quiet Dark 3 cooler for $740 at NewEgg. During the cyber Friday to Monday time frame, the board went up $20, the Cooler went down $10 and the CPU was unchanged at $299. My first pick RAM went out of stock while I waited. I needed low profile RAM to clear the cooler fan. The folks at GSkill assured me their DDR3 2400 RAMM would fit, so I bought that set.
The factor that pulled the trigger was that Paypal offered a $30 discount. Didn't see anything else improving, so I went for it. The local Altex store wanted around $1200 for the same combo of parts. Oh Yeah they also wanted around 8.75% sales tax.
