what will you do with your PC (Gaming, video editing, etc)?

Dont buy the parts one by one unless you will be using them immediately, because in 6 mounth you might find a mutch better deal (a better processor for the same price or the same processor but at lower price).

Another reason to wait is to see what will the directx 12 will bring to the game, if AMD processor performance in games will improve or not. It seems that it will improve, but I'm not sure if it will impact games developed under other versions of directx.

research multiple tabs is a very light task for a desktop, my PC (check signature, 6gb ram) can do it with 7% CPU usage. Same goes for watching videos at 1080p, I think.
As for games, the most important will be the GPU, but first you will need a budget and we will have to be close to the time you are ready to buy to be abbe to give you good advice,
