Ryzen 5 2400G VGA compatibility

[rounakr94]

I am building a Ryzen System with:
Asus Prime AB350M-A
HyperX DDR4 XMP 2400 2x4gb
Ryzen 5 2400G.

Now the problem is that my monitor is a 768p LG VGA panel and I heard that Ryzen supports only Digital(DVI,HDMI). So will my monitor be supported by the motherboard since it has vga output or do i need new monitor?

The motherboard you mentioned has DVI, HDMI and VGA outputs, so it will work just fine without using any converters. You are good to go.

But should I buy one just in case the vga is only for a series APU?

No need, your monitor is supported 100%. It is all dictated purely by outputs on the motherboard. After all, gaming on that resolution is more or less ideal for that iGPU. On, say, 1080p, it becomes limited to low details in most games except older ones. Buying a new monitor only makes sense if you wish to get a faster discrete GPU later to play @1080p.
