I have never build a PC before and I decided to build/buy parts because shipping/handling in where I live is way too expensive.(more than the actual product I'm buying) The first part I bought, Corsair Spec 03 arriving on December 12. (Price on Amazon $57 price of shipping $89 total of $146)

Questions:
1.)I already got a PC Case whats should I get a Monitor next or HDD and OS?
2.)What parts should I buy last or in what order?
3.)Is there any tools I need to buy to build PC?
4.)Should I buy a OS or Pirated?
Extra: Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 8GB AMP! Extreme Video Card is on sale as of now $399($464) should I buy this GPU ASAP? As my second part?

Note: I only buy on Amazon.com(US) it takes 2 weeks or more for them to deliver on our tiny island. And not all products delivers on where I live and if they do the price is way too expensive(shipping not included). The Reason why I don't want to buy all at the same time.

Cheers and Thank you so much for you'r time appreciate the help! Hopefully by December/January I will have all the parts.

If you have no way of testing the parts, I would buy the motherboard, cpu, RAM, hard drives, psu, and video card all at the same time. If you can test them, it doesn't matter.

It's a good build, but I have a few nitpicks. I would much rather have a medium priced air cooler instead of that AIO water cooler, and you're losing out on a lot of bang for buck on your storage.

As far as the purchase order, I would go ahead and buy the case, monitor, and OS as soon as you can. Oh and we do not support pirating software such as the OS on this site so we'll ignore that.

The problem with purchasing some parts now and waiting for later to buy the rest is, if you buy a part now, let's use the video card for example, and you keep it in it's box for 2 months until you buy the rest of your parts, and you build your PC and get finished and the video card doesn't work, you've completely missed your chance to return it. So ONLY buy a part like that early if you have a way to test it out as soon as you get it like in a friend's PC or something.

Thank you for the reply. I will not go for pirated since the OS is on sale I might buy it now. I will change my cooler to Noctua NH-U12S 55.0 CFM CPU Cooler I'm just worried about putting the thermal paste, I don't understand the part on losing out a lot of bang for buck on your storage. Again thanks a lot!

Oh got it! Will it be OK to buy this M.2 SSD and put it on my laptop(and install games/software's) first then remove it and put it on my PC build after?
Is it safe to buy a CPU after getting my Monitor and OS? What parts should I buy last? MotherBoard? GPU? or Power Supply?
