Im looking to rebuild my Plex Media Server around a Ryzen 5 2600 but i know they have no integrated graphics. I don't even need graphics other than just instillation of ubuntu server or windows whatever i decide. I have an old Nvidea N210 laying around and was wondering if this would introduce and issues with using this just for display.

I know i could get a 2400g but im not willing to sacrifice 4000 mark score just to have on board graphics. Do you guys for see any issues in my plan? Will this card bottleneck the performance of the chip in any way? Again it will just be running plex so Absolutely no gaming
 
Solution
You will need a graphics card for a display. Your old graphics card should be OK, if it still works. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a GPU.
