I was going to build a custom PC and I would get the GPU a week or two later but I was planning on building the custom build ant NOT even turning it on due to the Integrated graphics activating or something (idk Im a noob about PC's)

I would do this because I don't really know how to disable the Integrated and I wouldn't want to screw up my PC somehow (I know it's in the bios but like idk xD)

I was wounder if anyone could tell me how to do this and if I should build the PC without the GPU and just turn it ON and install the things i need to and add the GPU later.

Would this mess with my PC if I did this? Idk

Thanks

You can build the PC and use it on integrated graphics and later add the GPU, and it should automatically change from internal graphics to the GPU.

And if it shouldn't change automatically as it can sometimes happen, it may take a reboot or shutdown-restart for the change to take effect. It may also be necessary to change the BIOS video setting manually from IGFX to PCIe after which you should also reboot or shutdown-restart to make sure the change takes effect.

The motherboard model pdf manual (downloaded from the manufacture's product page > Support > Downloads) should have the BIOS description in menu images for you to find the setting, and it should also contain the instructions to find and modify the video settings.
