DVI Monitor, HDMI Computer

[Toore]

So, I'm planning on buying a gaming computer with this motherboard:

GIGABYTE 970A-DS3P AMD 970 ATX w/ Ultra Durable 4 Classic, On/Off Charge, GbLAN, 2 PCIe x16, 3 PCIe x1, 2 PCI (Pro OC Certified)

The monitor I have is a little more than 20 inches, but only supports DVI cables. I believe the motherboard I will be getting only has HDMI ports (can anybody confirm this?). Is there any way to hook up my DVI monitor to the HDMI computer via adapters or such?

Thanks.

It's easy to connect DVI to an HDMI port, just get an HDMI to DVI adapter like this:

HOWEVER, that motherboard does not have an integrated GPU. It has no display outputs. You will need a separate GPU if you want a functional computer.

If this is going to be a gaming build you will need a graphics card so you won't be plugging your monitor into the motherboard.

Any modern graphics card will have DVI output also so you won't have to worry about it, but you can grab an HDMI to DVI adapter for cheap.

Yeah. That motherboard has no on-board video. You need a graphics card.
