Unfortunately you need to purchase a graphics card to utilise that motherboard. The motherboard you've selected which supports AM3+ CPUs, neither of them [motherboard/CPU] have integrated graphics. You could purchase a cheap GPU and that should contain video output; depending on which GPU you get, you'll have different outputs such as HDMI, DVI, VGA amongst others.

The GPU recommend by SR-71 Blackbird is a solid GPU for the price, however you can always purchase a card which is inferior in performance therefore also cheaper. Please reply back with your budget and we'll recommend you an appropriate card. Also what games do you intend on playing? If none, you could install a dead cheap GPU (the cheapest you can find) otherwise if you are planning to play games, again the GTX 750 Ti recommended by SR-71 is solid.

All the best.
