I mean if you are in the US / Canada / UK you’ll find real nice Black Friday deals, ranging from anything basically. Make a short list of what you want and see what pricing is once Black Friday sales start 

 

MSI B450 Pro Gaming Pro Carbon AC | AMD Ryzen 2700x  | NZXT  Kraken X52  | MSI GeForce RTX2070 Armour | Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4*8) 3200MhZ | Samsung 970 evo M.2nvme 500GB Boot  / Samsung 860 evo 500GB SSD | Corsair RM550X (2018) | Fractal Design Meshify C white | Logitech G pro Wireless | Gigabyte Aurus AD27QD

Hard drives go on sale every Black Friday, but they are also constantly on sale throughout the rest of the year.  You tend to see pre-built machines discounted, or more often the regular price with free extras.  I think its pretty rare to find things like GPU's and CPU's go on sale

So I should buy most of my parts now then? Maybe wait on a nice ssd or harddrive

Well, almost everything goes on sale at some point (outside of high-end components like a 2080ti), so its more a matter of how much waiting you want to do.  A lot of it depends on how recent the release once.
