Camshafts

If you buy an aftermarket cam shaft do you have to change out the valves, springs, retainer's, and lifter's or it depends on what stage of camshaft's you get?

I tend to agree with this. May as well just knock everything out at once instead of having to tear your head apart on several occasions.
