Messed up and bought a CPU without iGPU. What is the next step?

I bought an i5-10400F. I knew it didn't have an iGPU but brain didn't put 2 and 2 together.

Do I buy an i5-10500, or get a dedicated gpu? If so, what is a good sub £70 used gpu?

Hey @NaZzAtAzEr,

What do you plan to do with your Hexos? Do you need the GPU only for video output or do you want to do some video transcoding with Plex/JellyFin?

If you only need it for video out for the installation you can use any GPU and if you don't have one maybe you can borrow you from a friend. If you plan to do more with it, we need to know before we can give a proper recommendation.

In that case, use any gpu which you have at home for the initial setup or try do borrow one from a friend and check if the motherboard starts headless (without gpu) after the installation and if Hexos is accessible. If it is working fine without gpu after the setup you don't need to buy an extra gpu just for the server.
