Motherboard has no VGA port

I'm building a new computer and this is the motherboard I want to get:

Iv noticed that it has no VGA port like most other motherboards do. I'm totally aware that I have to buy a graphics card for it, but my question is how do I install the graphics card when there is no screen?

Thanx

Only motherboards with onboard graphics support have video out ports on the back panel!
You install the graphics card in its slot and then connect it to an external monitor!

So once I plug the graphics card into the pci slot I should get a picture on the screen?

Into the PCI express X16 slot or PCI (depending on what card you have) and then connect the monitor to the output on the card you should get picture!

Sweet thanks for the help mate

Since the video card is hardware you don't need a screen to 'install' it. And most, if not all of them, allow you to install the drivers after the card is already working.

So, connect the card to your MB, plug your monitor in and be happy

Don't forget to make sure your computer is unplugged during the installation process. Once everything is secure hook your monitor up and plug in your computer then turn it on and install the latest drivers for your card.

Your video card and motherboard has a special feature which alerts you when you try to connect one to other with everything turned on... pity this feature is an alarm of smoke rings 😀
