Should I boot or wait

I am building a new PC, I have everything installed apart from the GPU.. (I need some time to save up for that) I have booted to BIOS, checked everything is there but now I want to install windows and programs etc. The only thing is Iv heard that if I use the iGPU I will then need to uninstall them drivers which is a hassle when I come to installing the actual GPU. Is it actually a hassle or should I go ahead and start it up and get it running?

Just go ahead.
I was in the same position when I built my current build as a waited until my next paycheck rather than get credit.

It's gave me time to get everything installed /set up how I like, and time to dial in a decent cpu overclock.

And of course I could use the computer in the meantime for actual computery stuff.

The when I got the gpu, install, swap cable over, download driver, job done.

Yep no need for a GPU in any build with integrated graphics.

Go ahead, it's what you bought these components for - to use now and upgrade over time.
