Yes, my CPU has a iGPU.

As long as i can see my finances it's fine. Gaming can wait until i get a replacement GPU.
 
Useful thing but haven't owned yet any external GPU as backup. However, Intel 12600K iGPU is there for the purpose.
 
Yes i have GTX 950 and RTX 2080 Ti as backups. Both are fully functional. I bought the 950 specifically for this. 2080 Ti is my old GPU.

I also have backups for most other components including:
1kW Corsair PSU (pre 80+ Plus era, but should conform to 80+ Gold)
Older socket Intel Motherboard, CPU and RAM.
Multiples of 2,5" SATA SSD's and 3,5" SATA HDD's. Also one 256GB PCIe 4.0 M.2 drive.
One keyboard and several mouse.
Two pairs of headphones and one set of speakers.
Numerous USB thumb drives.

What im currently lacking is an extra monitor, just in case. But im working on that too.
 
Yo la GT-210 :aplausos:
 
More than I thought...

That's not even all of them. Granted, most are obsolete.
