Hello.

Finally going to buy my first pc, but now money is short: I can buy everything I want except the most important thing: the gpu.

Since I'm playing in a laptop that is almost burning down, I though in buy a very cheap but decent car for gaming, and get some more money, and when the next generation of gpus comes out, I'm the the 870. What do you think?

Should I buy the pc and a decent card, like an gtx750 and get more money for a couple of months till I get enough money or wait totally and die playing in my laptop?

Rest of the parts I want:
FX8320
M5A97 EVO R2.0
8GB HYPERX BEAST
1TB WD BLUE
XFX TS 550W BRONZE
CORSAIR 230T

Current laptop:
4gb ram
i3 2110m
gt510m

You've also forgotten a monitor and the OS.

Got the monitor and the OS. I have 600€

500 for the parts, got still 100 for the gpu. No, not i3. Want that cpu because it's 8core. and the mobo, and planned so it's the best way to spend the money. not streaming on an i3

Get something like a 750Ti or a 260x, this will do for now and you should be able to play at medium/high settings on most games.. Then save up your money and get something better

You could also get a GA-970a-UD3P instead of that Asus board. It is cheaper and has a better VRM for that 8 core

I know about the gb mobo, but i like the asus more. Where I live prices aren't like that. Quite a bit more expensive. Thanks every one!

I hate gaming on laptops. In my opinion if someone doesn't have the luxury and time of gaming on a PC then he shouldn't game. I feel that as a enthusiast , the real meaning of computer gaming comes from getting a PC that is as good as you can get
