I hardly think having just enough left to get a ok cpu for the fantastic
board/ram/vid combo is a good idea either ....you still need X amount of
processing power to handle the other "kick ass" hardware also , and
remember most LAN/Audio/etc stuff doesnt have onboard HW to take all the
load off the cpu these days unless purchasing mega dollar HW , most
still requires some software handholding .

Yes. There is merit to buy all parts at the same time so they fit
together performance wise. Your steps are good ones to follow for
specing a system (which is what I understand you meant them to be).
Buying a part every month isn't a good strategy. Save up first.
