[SOLVED] Advice on using a legacy video card as a temporary component

Hi all! I’m not a hugely experienced system builder - I built my current PC around 10 years ago! I’m not a gamer but do use my kit for photo editing (Photoshop, mainly) and amateur video editing using Vegas Studio. I’ve decided it’s time to upgrade/rebuild but because of the shortage of graphics cards, I need some quality advice.

I’ve decided on the following, which I believe will satisfy my needs for some years to come:

Asus Tuf Gaming X570 plus
Ryzen 5 3600
32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 MHz DDR4
Asus Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 TUF graphics card (4GB)

This fits my budget, too, but, given the fact that the graphics card will not be arriving for some time, I was wondering if I could use my old, but trusty, ATI Radeon HD 4350 card as a temporary fix purely to get video output to my monitor. I know it wouldn’t be a well-matched system but as the applications I use will benefit most from a more powerful CPU, I thought I could at least get some use out of the other new components whilst waiting for the new graphics card to arrive.

Your expertise would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!!!
