>plan to build my first PC

>plan to finish the build by the end of the year 2016
Is this a good idea or is it best to purchase all the components with each other or within a very small timeframe?
such a dumb cunt, just fuck off poorfag
If you do this it gives you time to think about your purchases and reduces the chance of impulse buys. It's what I do, to get the best pc I can afford over time

that's pretty dumb t͏bh
you won't have a finished computer for a year, and your existing purchases are becoming obsolete
You should probably buy all the parts and build it first. But when you're looking to upgrade, that's when you start looking for deals.

This. Just buy the best your budget can get you when you from the start.
If you're only going to have a working computer at the end of the year, it would be pretty retarded to buy a graphics card now when the shit coming out next year could be 2x as fast, wouldn't it?

This is what I did too. I was originally going to have a 4460 970 setup. But because I bought the parts bit by bit, I ended up with a 4690k and an R9 Fury

Just save till you get a minimum budget to build one. Who knows, maybe when you will have got all the money a new component with good quality/price will be out and it would be better than anything you can buy right now for the same price.
Just save, you've been waiting for a long time you can wait a bit more

He's right desu. Prices will usually only go down, buying early is always a bad option if you can't use it anyway.

Some people buy everything except the GPU and use the onboard graphics adapter or an old card.
Later on they buy the GPU and just plug it in to finish the build.
Some people buy 2x4GB first and later on add another 2x4GB.
Others spare the CPU cooler and use the boxed cooler while not overclocking.
Just make sure you got a working base build that works and you can extend later.
If you buy the parts over time and you don't have extra spare parts laying around to test function you're going to cuck yourself out of rma timeframes if you get doa or defective items.
You wouldn't even know until your first boot or torture tests
always buy everything in one go. prices on components decrease with time, allowing you to possibly purchase better parts when you do decide to buy..or at the very least save a few bucks
