Question about PC Build

[nick5530]

Would it be a good idea to build the rest of my pc now and add a graphics card a little bit later once the 1060 aftermarket cards start to come out? 

Would any problems arise from doing this?

No problems would come from this as long as you purchase a CPU with on board graphics so you can have some sort of display till you get your card.

If you don't have the money and need a PC now, you can certainly build now and add later. You would have to live with integrated graphics until you get the card. The only problems I can see are with windows activation. Sometimes adding a GPU in after you have already activated windows will make windows think it's being installed on a new system, requiring you to call Microsoft to reactivate. If you have a retail key, you'll be fine, but with an OEM key you might run into a bit of trouble.

The 6500 has onboard graphics right.

Yes, to be honest, I did the same thing. If you go with intel, the HD 530 is actually pretty decent for casual or non demanding games.Still waiting for 1070's to be more widely availible in my country!

Well I was planning on get the full version instead of OEM just in case something like this happen so I should be fine.
