This is gonna be my first time building a gaming desktop for maximum of 1000usd not including storage (I have a ssd I bought sometime ago)

Here is my build

I'm kinda shaky on the build because I never built a pc i kinda made this build based on reviews i saw on other builds and friends. if you guys have suggestions on better parts please let me know but keep under 1000. I'm not very sure on what power supply to use also what case(would prefer one with a window)

A unrelated question to the actual build is would it be better to buy the parts during blackfriday/cyber monday? Or does the prices not really vary
