Eric
I was wondering if any computers would be cheap on Black Friday (And when is Black Friday?)
Also, I'd like if you could recommend a computer that is capable of running World of Warcraft of decent graphics
Answer
I'm sure there will be tons of cheap computers on Black Friday, however that is actually the Friday after Thanksgiving... in November. What I would recommend if you were wanting something sooner is looking at the Deals of the Day on Gizmodo.

They usually have really great sales and deals, so if you don't see something today, keep checking back until you do.
Good luck!

I've seen Rosewill, Cooler Master, Thermaltake and many more. Also, how do i know if the power supply is compatible with the mother board and other parts?
Answer
Helps a lot if you tell us what motherboard you are using, if you expect to receive a good answer.

You motherboard should state the type of power supply it requires. ATX, Micro ATX, BTX, CFX, TFX, etc.

Some motherboards have more than one 12 volt rail and need a power supply with extra 12 volt legs.

For power supply pinouts refer to

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_power_supply
Some companies such as Dell and HP use special plugs. If your motherboard does and you use a standard power supply without an adapter you will fry your motherboard.
Power requirements:
Usually your video card will determine the smallest power supply you can use. Size it for the best card you will ever install. The card specs will state something like a minimum rating of 450 watts with 24 amps on the 12 volt leg of the power supply that supplies the video card. Usually you will need to get a power supply with a higher wattage rating to meet the minimum amperage requirement.
For example:
8800Ultra Superclocked 768MB
http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=768-P2-N887-AR&family=23
Minimum of a 500 Watt power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 34 Amp Amps. Two available 6-pin Molex hard drive power dongles
8600GTS
http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=256-P2-N761-AR&pwindow=specs&family=23
Minimum of a 400 Watt power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 22 Amp Amps.
Minimum 450 Watt for SLI mode system with +12 Volt current rating of 24 Amp Amps. An available 6 pin PCI-E power connector (hard drive power dongle to PCI-E 6 pin adapter included with card)
