Buyer's Guide Budget Build

[Jawaka]

So, what am I missing. There's no video card because yeah, they're expensive. But what's the point in having a PC with no video? Wouldn't it be just an expensive paper weight?

Yeah, I've often wondered about that too when watching build videos etc. I wouldn't dream of building to wait indefinitely for a video card—"indefinitely" because who knows when they'll be affordable again, could be a year yet.

All your other parts will be 6-12 months old by then. Why buy now, when there'll be newer or cheaper whenever you get the GPU, and they'll have full warranty?

Obviously if your PC dies and it's not a simple fix, then you have to do something. But otherwise, wait.

im helping someone somewhere who has opposite, a 3080 paired with a 1300x, he is upgrading everything else next. Probably saner way to do it.
