Hello I am planning to build a gaming/programming/editing pc and I my main question should I buy the components 1 by 1 or wait to see what the future holds the total cost is 1112$ and i dont have the money for it but I will have that money at the middle of March 2016, so here are my parts http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LmzDLk I do have a 1tb hdd and (2x4)8gb of kingston ram may get more though and have a keyboard mouse etc.
 
Who knows what will be available and at what price 5 months from now. It changes pretty fast. Best to save until you're ready to buy the bulk of it. If you came across amazing good deal on something that isn't going to dictate the rest of the system (like a good black friday deal on a nice SSD) I'd consider snatching it up but I'd hold off on buying any major parts like mobo/gpu/cpu/memory until you're ready to purchase them around the same time.
 
Just something to note if you buy parts bit by bit over time, make sure the place's you're buying from have a good return policy. When you finally get the PC built and in the unfortunate case that there is a problem, it may be harder to return things directly to the store and will have to go through manufacturer RMA which can take a while.

y a 750w psu I have more than enough for both oc on gpu and cpu and more the watts is not better and not needed unluess i get a more power hungry gpu like AMD
 
It's not so much the wattage that's the concern, the EVGA G2 750w Gold is a BETTER psu in terms of build quality and reliability, and it's also cheaper. The reason I went with a 750w unit is so you would be SLI ready if you ever wanted to get another 970 in the future. If you are not interested in SLI, a good 550w unit is all you need.
 


your right ty for the answer
