I am in the process of building a new pc that can handle a strong graphics card, something like 3080 or 90 or even a new 40 series. I currently have this build part picker and will be using the graphic card temporarily on my new build till I can buy a new GPU for that build, the current build will not have a graphic card anymore, but then I remembered my father wants to make his current retail business finally on a computer, yes he still uses pen and paper to make receipts and writing what item has been sold, anyway should I buy any cheap graphic card or should I just rely on CPU graphic and it will be enough?
 
Solution
I think people got wrong idea I already own this build and I did not my post the one I am building but it includes 13 gen intel and z790 board.


That is a whole other thing then. A 1070ti is a good match to that system should you choose to get another. For retail POS and productivity you should have no issue without a GPU at all.

All I see in your link is a photo. What are the system specs?

To expound on my comment above.

A 1070ti is still a relevant card, but something like an RX 6600 is it's equal and new with warranty.

A modern i5 would run circles around the 5 generation old i7.

In the case that you were dealing with used equipment on a good deal, a system like you spec might be worthwhile. If you said that is what you are doing, I might have missed it. (I do see that the 10 series GPU is a "leftover"). The 8700 spec'ed is functionally obsolete. Don't use a "Smart" series PSU if you can help it. I am not going to say they are bad bad, but I wouldn't personally use it on a system with a (powerful) GPU installed.

IMO, would probably consider taking a look at 12th gen Intel if you are searching for value performance on a DDR4 based motherboard.

I think people got wrong idea I already own this build I want to know if apu is enough for my retail use or better buy any cheap card and I did not my post the one I am building but it includes 13 gen intel and z790 board.
