As Blackbird said, it is best to purchase them at around the same time as this will allow you to see if there are any defective parts. You could purchase a part, hang onto it for months until you get the rest of your build, then find out that it was DOA but now you are outside of an RMA period so you will have to go through the hassle of dealing with the manufacturer directly. You will also go crazy looking at the parts and not be able to do anything with them!
