Patience?

Next month I will be buying windows so I will have everything I need for my new computer except a monitor and a keyboard. I do however have an old dell monitor which has VGA and runs at 1400x900 I think. I believe that the r7 260x comes with a DVI to VGA adapter and I was wondering if I should wait to get my new montior (1080p, ips, DVI connector) or can I use my old monitor while waiting for the money to get a new monitor cause I may be waiting 1-2 months because I have graduation coming in a couple months and I need money for a suit but I want to get my pc finished before schools out. So should I use my old monitor or wait for a new one??

Yeah, you could definitely use it.

A lot of GPU's come with a DVI to VGA connector, but I can't confirm it for your GPU.

Use the monitor you have until you can get the new one/until it arrives. No sense in just letting your beautiful new machine go into early slumber.

I was planning to use an old monitor I had when I built mine, but ended up getting a new one when I bought all the parts anyways. Just do some math and figure out how much you need for all the parts beside the monitor, what you need to a suit, and see if what you have left over is enough for a monitor. If it is, then decide whether you want to spend that now or wait until you have more cash. It just depends on how much money you like to have to feel comfortable.

use the old one until you can get the new one.
