build PC WITHOUT GPU?

[Tjubes]

So I just sold my iMac for 850€ and have approx. 1100€ to spend on my new PC, I also have to buy a new keyboard and monitor(1440P) from that money. Is it smart to just build it and then wait for my birthday (20 February) to buy the GPU? Here's the build, any recommendations are welcome .

N.b. I'm writing this on my iPad, so rip grammar .

I'd wait and do it all at once unless you have no other computer, in which case you might as well get up and running.

[kelvindeschutter]

yes it can but you wont be playing any demanding games. but just out of curiosity what GPU are you planning to buy?

[CHEESEM0NSTER55]

How much are you spending on the GPU

 

[Tjubes]

I'm probably going to buy the R9 390. And all I got for now is my ps4, my phone and the iPad.. @kelvindeschutter @unidentical @CHEESEM0NSTER55

I'll probably suggest AMD A-series if you'll just play League and some not-too-demanding online FPS games like Crossfire 2.0 or Special Force 2. and even just a 4gb ram ddr3. you don't even need to attach even a single 80mm fan and it'll last 3 years, around the time this build is considered obsolete.

 

A-series is simply a CPU where a huge part of it is actually a "video card". you aren't actually buying a separate, dedicated video card and perfect for those with tight budget.

 

then jump to a higher spec when you'll finally decide to play those high demand games.

Which A-series then?

[kidlat020]

I wanna say A4 but that's TOO MUCH. A6 has I think 2 cores, while A8 has 4 cores which is probably overkill to you.

why shouldn't I buy the 6600K?

[kidlat020]

^ speaking from what I hear from internet cafe owners in my country. But I think that's back when A4 was 4300K I can't remember. I could personally recommend A6 5400K (lower version) as long as you'll play said games.

 

otherwise gamble it.

I think I'll just go for the 6600K since I'm also going to stream/record gameplay and programs like OBS are all CPU based. Thanks for the advice though, just don't want to upgrade my CPU after a year .

If you don't want to buy a GPU get a APU. And you can use a APU+GPU setup, which is actually IGPU+DGPU+CPU.

Well your words sounds better than it atually is APU's arent that great and you can't bundle grapichs unless SLI/CF.

@Redicat I forgot to mention if APU's are single they are a piece of ****
