Order all at once or part by part

[Beef Boss]

For my future build,  should I save up all my money for it and buy everything at once or buy it part by part? I'll be buying everything off of Amazon with two day shipping so...

If shipping is free, then whatever works for you. If shipping is not free, then you should buy as many as you can at the same time.

on thing to consider is that you will eat into your warranty period if the items are sitting around for awhile.  example:  if you buy a part w/1yr warranty and for some reason you wait 6 months for the last part then you've lost 6mo of the warranty on the original part, and sometime the part can be defective and you wont know it until you hook it up.  but if are pretty sure this wont happen then np waiting especially if you are getting a good deal..

I'd do whatever works best for you.I like to order as much as my budget allows at one. Saves on time (and sometimes cost). Plus I can't stand having to wait before I can start building

I bought mine in chunks, based on sales and prices. I bought my CPU at a totally different time from my mobo and hard drive, and then the ram, GPU, CUP cooler and PSU later. I had bought my case about a month prior because it was at a very discounted price. 

 

Basically a mix of both

Yeah shipping is free. I could get things cheaper from some websites but with prime its guaranteed two day shipping. I would prefer to save some cash obviously but amazon has amazing customer service. I'm actually thinking of just diving straight into water cooling because of the case I am getting....

Buy them all at once if possible or at least buy the right parts together so you know if things are faulty. So dont buy a motherboard if you cant get a CPU, RAM, and a PSU because you wont be able to test any of them without the other parts. A GPU could really be the last thing you buy so long as your CPU has an iGPU. It would be pretty shit to buy a mobo and RAM only to get a CPU 4 months later and not only lose out on 4 months of that warranty but also not be able to use the system because the RAM/Mobo was doa.

personally if im building a system ill wait until i can buy everything at once or at least get to a point where theres no more than a week or two between buying the parts.

Okay thank you! Everything is $200 and up. Except for the hdd which is $70... So yeah it makes sense to have all the cash ready basically
