Just catching up on this thread... like someone mentioned, the deals usually kick off way before the actual Friday. Back when I was building my last rig, I made the mistake of waiting until 12:01 AM on Friday morning just to find out the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB I wanted had been on sale since November 10th. Newegg usually does this price protection thing where if the price drops further before the end of the month, they refund the difference. It is way safer to just buy when the Black Friday Price badge shows up instead of gambling on stock levels on the actual day. Honestly, that 800 limit is gonna be tough for the top-tier 50-series cards. I have spent years hunting deals and usually the sweet spot for that budget ends up being the previous gens high-end stuff or a very specific sale on something like the Gigabyte Windforce V2 GeForce RTX 4080 Super 16GB if you are lucky. I personally prefer sticking to the Sold and Shipped by Newegg listings too. I had a rough experience with a third-party seller once where the shipping took three weeks and the box arrived looking like it fell off a plane... not worth the 20 bucks I saved. Stick to the official stock and use those early November deals to lock in your build parts one by one. It is a marathon, not a sprint, especially when trying to stay under a strict budget tho. You might even find a deal on a Corsair RM850x 850W 80+ Gold PSU to help balance the rest of the cost.

Unfortunately, Newegg starts early November, but $800 wont buy an AMD Radeon RX 8900 XTX 24GB tbh. You might have to settle for an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT 20GB instead.
