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.

Dependig on where you live, use a price tracker. For example geizhals.at for german speaking countries. That's what I did with my PC.

After buying every single part, I checked what the highest prices in the last 3 months were and in summary I saved about 600€ in total. PC costed 2400€.

That makes sense to get a general trend within a short timeframe of the price for specific parts and buy it when it seems to be the lowest. Thanks!
