GPU prices are bad these days. Would you consider getting a GPU later?

yea dont even consider a gpu for now
i5 12400 is the most value for money mid range now -18-20k
so something based around this would be fine
16gb ddr4(8*2 would be fine) would cost around 8k

thanks for your reply.

for work purpose, buying is a desktop pc is kinda important for me as of now and I am looking for configuration which have AMD RYZEN in it.

I will think about what to do about GPU, but at least post the configuration now. Thanks

probably wait till am5 release then , current amd ryzen prices are less value for money than intels and intel overpowering the ryzen cpus with alder lake
amd is over priced and under performing right now, for the money u invest in.
check some stats

I see no point in buying Ryzen CPUs at current prices because of 12th gen, esp for budget CPUs. A cheap i3 12100F performs close to R5 3600 in productivity & outperforms it in gaming (even R7 3700X).

Hardware unboxed youtube channel most probably.

Hardware Unboxed. Check Gamer's Nexus as well. HU says i5 12400 is better for bit future-proofing & I agree. But for gamers, that i3 is an excellent value for budget builds.
