Sorry, if this is a dumb question. I need it answered explicitly, though.

I am buying a frame this weekend. I plan on building it up over the next few months because I can only afford a few components at a time. So what is the order I should build the frame up? For example, I can't put a chain on without a rear wheel, can't put a cassette on without a rear wheel, need a stem to put a handlebar on, need brake levers to put brakes on. In what order do you build up a frame?
