I don't know if I need a graphic card and sound card. I haven't built the computer yet, and want to make sure that I don't have any extra things to buy later. I don't plan on doing any gaming or video editing, it will just be a home computer (Netflix will be the most I do on it). I'm going to use an Intel boxdh67clb3 motherboard and an Intel Core i3-2100 processor. Please tell me if these have integraded graphics and audio that will be enough. If I do need cards, please recomend good ones.

Thanks

Looks fine to me (they have integrated video and sound as far as I can tell). You can always add a graphics or sound card later if the onboard isn't enough.

It's a bit confusing because the mobo says no integrated video, but the CPU does. The mobo has a dvi socket, so it makes sense.

"Home computer" isn't the really right term because a lot of people use those to game/video edit. I think the term you are looking for is HTPC (home theater pc)
