Monitor upgrade going to require more than onboard graphics?

[blackersabbath]

I am thinking about purchasing this monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236059

Am I going to be able to run this thing without buying a graphics card?

derpends on your onboard video. i dont see why not. Doubt you have DVI though.

Nope, no DVI. I see that the monitor has a VGA cable though....

That there's your northbridge. No problem at all.

Awesome! Thanks for that, ratbuddy. I want to get a monitor before going on with upgrades. Now just to figure out case and PSU before I decide on mobo/cpu
