At this budget it feels like a misstep to buy the CPU now with a GPU later on.

I'd wait until you have your full budget and buy everything together, as there is a general expectation that within the next 12 months hardware will get both faster and cheaper. This is due to oversupply from projections made during the latest crypto boom (we're in a bust right now) and due to fierce competition between Intel and AMD/TSMC.

Things could always change, goodness knows we've seen enough black swan events in the last 2 decades to fill a centuary or two, but I would wait until you're ready to buy everything together.
