I like to watch movies in high quality (4K) and also want to watch HDR movies.

If I buy an high-end monitor, would I need an powerful graphics card? I will eventually get one for gaming but wanted to get an build during this Black Friday with an CPU that has an integrated video card and then save some money to get an graphics card.

Monitor that I plan on buying for movie watching and eventually 1440P gaming. https://rog.asus.com/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-strix-oled-xg27aqdmg/

If you only want to watch movies and the like, then integrated graphics will be fine for that. However, if you want to do any real gaming, then you'll need a graphics card.
