Hello guys, I need a bit of help here regarding bottlenecking

I just ordered intels new i3-8350k from the coffee lake series and a z370 mobo and some other components thats not worth mentioning regarding this "worry".

The thing is, i bought this new "high end" cpu but i didn't buy a graphics card. I dont have the cash for it now so if not absolutely necessary i will buy that sometime after christmas. So when I get the components i will be using my current gpu, a nvidia gtx 680 dual 2gb.

And i just wonder if it will bottleneck? and if some compontens can take harm by running like this for a couple of months. And if h1z1 and games like that will be playable and so on. And lastly i'd like to know some graphics cards that will do the job later when im going to buy one, I was thinking gtx 1060 6b or something like that?

Sry for bad english and bad structure of text. :)

it will bottleneck far less than the iGPU built in to the CPU. results are a generalization only.

the 680 is still a decent card

you cannot damage any parts as long as all the parts are working correctly. a damaged card could damage the motherboard for example.

the 1060 6Gb is about the best card for a 1080P experience
higher resolutions and refresh rates will require a faster card.

Ye, ofc i had no plans running the system without any actual graphics card, I just wondered if it would bottleneck WITH the gtx 680, I'm asking if it's even worth to put the 680 into the system or just go and order a better one instead. But thanks anyway man! So you dont think it will bottleneck too bad? again, sry for the poor grammar.
