Should I buy a pre-built system now or wait for black friday?

My old system (i5 6400, gtx 960) is getting slow and the new ryzen cpus and gpus look shiny. Found a good offer for a whole pre built system (r5 3600, 16gb DDR4 3200, Vega 56, 550W PSU, B450 tomahawk mobo, and a case) for 760€. Do you think it will be cheaper on black friday?

Don't buy pre built junk. That power supply is almost certainly junk and the card is definitely a blower so it will be hot, loud and unstable.

 

Build a system with a 5700 and youll have a cool, quiet and powerful gaming PC

Black Friday is 83 days away, who's to say this model will even still be available? Also, the way you outlined the parts doesn't make it sound like a prebuilt, it sounds like a used PC, of course a store bought prebuilt comes with a case but PC parts off Facebook market may be everything but the case.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

While we can't see into the future, I'd just wait and build something on Black Friday if you're able.

If may help if you tell us who the builder is, but it sounds like a decent enough rig.

I got mine from eBay and there are other sites that sell keys.  Give it a check.  I wanna say that Paul's Hardware has a site he has mentioned several times too.  Hopefully somebody here can remember who it was.
