So I'm going to build my first PC and I planned out all the parts on PCBuilder. Once i raise the money over the next couple months, I'll be actually building it. Everything was fine, except 90% of the motherboards I wanted were either $300 or not offered anywhere new and were all used or refurbished.
I originally picked my CPU then motherboard, but it seemed that my CPU was limiting my motherboard choices, which was weird.
I deleted the CPU i originally wanted and picked a new motherboard:
MSI - 970 GAMING ATX AM3+ Motherboard
But the issue is that there are no video ports on the motherboard! I don't see any VGA or DMI ports and those middle slots dont look like HDMI ports. How would I connect a moniter?
I'm actually looking to do dual or maybe triple displays (stick to dual for now) and I desperately need at least 2 HDMI ports on my motherboard.
Are those middle things HDMI ports or what?
If you can recommend a motherboard, here's what I'm looking for:
- minimum of 4 usb 3.0 (more the better)
-minimum of 2 usb 2.0
-minimum of 2 HDMI ports
-one ethernet port
-can support minimum of 16 GB of RAM, 32 is preferred
P.S - Originally I was using Intel Core i7 as my CPU, since I've used Intel all my life, but once I picked this as my motherboard, all my CPU options changed to AMD, something I've never heard of. Regardless, here is my build:

Will this even work..?
