I am about to return my motherboard for a replacement. How do I go about safely storing all of my PC parts until I am able to rebuild the computer? I understand that some may require anti-static bags, others may not. If I do need anti-static bags, where do I get them? Would local repair/computer stores have them (BestBuy, uBreakiFix, etc.) or is online the only option?

What is connected to my motherboard:
CPU & stock cooler
2 RAM sticks
HDD
SSD
GPU
PSU
Connectors that go with most parts

If for whatever reason you need the specifications for the parts then I will give them upon request.
 
Solution
In a sturdy box:
stock cooler
HDD
SSD
PSU

Possibly needing antistatic bags, in a different box
CPU
2 RAM sticks
GPU

Put these boxes on a low shelf, away from heat sources & moisture.
Antistatic bags you can probably but at your local UPS store.
