Be careful buying piece by piece. If you buy something and let it sit around without being able to test it, the exchange period will expire in case it's DOA, and of course the factory warranty starts with your invoice date. Also, by the time you get around to assembling a complete system, some items may become obsolete and/or be available for less money. A case and PSU is safe, but things like motherboards, processors, drives, and ram should be relatively "fresh".

PC Part Picker is okay, but we will always suggest alternates to what you come up with. Also, buying from multiple vendors can be a hassle if you have issues - buying almost everything from a single vendor will get you better customer service if you have issues.

If you are definitely not going to be building for a few months, I would STOP buying parts now. Case and PSU are okay, but please don't buy anything else.
