How hard is it to install a gpu into a pc with an iGPU?

[equilibrium814]

I currently have 8gb 2400mhz b350 ryzen2200g 1tb wd corsair vs550w,etc. But I haven't built it yet. My rx580 8gb is coming in 15days. Is it worth building my pc now whilst using the vega8 graphics then installing the gpu when it comes? I am really impatient and I need to unbox my monitor and see if there is any issue before the warranty and return ends(20 days). My question is, how difficult is it putting a gpu into this already built system? Do I simply remove the case and install or do I have to untangle and reassemble the entire pc? Worth it?

Its extremely worthwhile to build it now and get it running.
When the GPU arrives you will simply install it in the PCIe slot, run the power to it (no need to redo anything else) and plug your monitor into it, instead of the iGPU.
The iGPU will automatically be disabled in the BIOS.

@Gam3r01
How do you connect a monitor to a pc and or gpu? Through hdmi or displayport?

 

[Gam3r01]

You can connect it using any cord you want, HDMI, DP, DVI, etc so long as both the monitor and the GPU can accept that cord.

Im concerned about the motherboard compatibility with 2200g not knowing it's current bios revision. Since you haven't assembled the parts yet, any chance you can swap it for a b450 motherboard?

High chance it wont boot.

Do have options

Either return mobo for b450

Ask a friend or PC shop to flash your mobo if youre restrained to it. They'll use 1st gen Ryzen cpu to do so.

Or contact Amd for a boot kit loan. See link below on section Short Term Processor Loan "Boot Kit
