Not if they are in the original packaging and well taken care of.

They probably sit on the storage shelves in warehouses/shops for ages anyway aha, it'll be fine. There was a 2 month gap between the time I brought my 1st part and built my 1st build lol

As @Swegly mentions, just leave them in the original packaging that they came in. You won't have any issues.

Plug in every power cable connector that your motherboard has. Some higher end boards have optional power connectors, but it's always safest to plug them all in.

Better to save and buy all parts at once so that you will be able to test and benchmark them for any problems. Also you could get good deals and discounts when buying all components at once.

I already answered this. Plug both in.
