So right now I have enough money to buy the neccessary parts to build my PC. BUT, the list doesan't include my graphics card.

Can't decide, should I wait until I can buy all parts or buy all parts necessary to build PC and then buy and install GPU later?

its best to buy the parts later with the gpu.. that way you can search around and maybe get a better deal for those parts you are going to be pairing with the gpu .. sometimes patiencce helps

Unless there's a really good deal out there, simply wait and get everything at once. Prices can drop unexpectedly. And generally, the more you wait, the cheaper certain components become.

If you need a basic pc now then get it and build it if it has integrated graphics. You could get hard drive, case, memory or cpu cooler since these prices rarely change. If they are on sale, you should consider getting them early.
You probably want to wait until you have enough for cpu, motherboard and gpu together.

If you do decide to go ahead and get it, make sure to assemble and test all the components. That way if one of them doesn't work you can still return to the seller for a replacement.

Well if you have one of them i5, i7's and the likes, then you can just use the iGPU until you can get the graphics card you eyeballed. But do it only if the rest of the components have a discount, because otherwise that discount can pop up later while you wait, and if you miss it for being impatient, then you will be sorry.

Heres the deal, by the end of this year I will have enough money to buy my CPU (i5-4690k), storage(1 hdd 1 ssd), OS (windows 8.1) and monitor (benq 24). OR, I can buy the gpu for the most of that amount of money (asus gtx 970). I was thinking, if i go with the first option I will have all the parts needed (already have mobo, case etc.) to build my pc. Then I can add the GPU when I can afford it about a month later.
