...That kinda defeats the purpose of an antistatic bag.... I mean that you can, but it would be better to separate the parts into different cardboard boxes, and transport them that way, because in the end you are also risking physical damage to these components.

Just use the bag for the GPU,

 

CPU and RAM can be put in any kind of box you know as long as it's not like carpet or wool box you know !!

 

Make sure the cpu doesn't get physical damage and you good...

 

I used to store my ram in a drawer of my desk and i had like hundreds of ram sticks and never had one failed

 

also for cpus i had hundreds in the drawer as well when i would sell one i would give in a ziploc never had a problem and after working in multiple computer stores i can tell you its like that everywhere ( used ram and cpus stored in random boxes with no protection ) not saying they all sell in ziplog bags lolz

Exhibit A of why RAM manufacturers give lifetime warranties, RAM sticks are pretty tough little things

I store the $5 stick of DDR3 that I need to boot my computer sometimes under my magnetic dust filter then set my PS4 controller on top of it/my case. My X5660 also lived in a bowl with a bunch of flash drives and odds and ends, now it's being used in my "home server".

 

if I accidentally trigger "Overclocking Failed" on my board and reverts to the stock settings which don't work at all. This happens if I press keys sometimes before post or 100% if I hit either the reset or power buttons before post on accident.

 

You'll be fine, just stick them something that's not a wool sock pretty much.

Antistatic bags are overrated. Circuit boards have the texture of a cheese grater and should not be bundled together.
