Here is how I look at it. As long as bills are payed, the fridge is stocked and your significant other (if applicable) is happy and cool with it then it's all good.
I also built it in stages, I got the case (NZXT Phantom) MONTHS before I got anything else, then I got a killer deal on the Mobo and Proc, then the RAM from new egg (G Skill) was on sale for 10 bucks off and finally the Graphics card. I already had a 700 Gig HDD and a 1000W Power supply so those just got re-used. Start to finish took me about 8 or 9 months so the shock to my wallet was pretty spread out.
