If the motherboard you picked has VGA out it will work, if not im sure it has a DVI so you can get an adapter.

What specific make/model motherboard do you have?

It doesn't matter too much as long as the motherboard supports the new Ryzen APU's, which im sure it does at this point, if it has a VGA out it will work, if not and it has a DVI just get a cheap 2 dollar adapter DVI and VGA are both analog and you just need a little inexpensive passive adapter.

I'm going to assume it depends on the b350 mobo you buy. I looked at two of them and they both have VGA ports. The DVI ports are DVI-D however, not DVI-I. But as long as the b350 mobo has the VGA port you should be ok.

Edit: Here is a randome B350 board I picked from newegg.

As you can see it has a VGA connection. So you should be fine if you get something like this.

Edit 2: Not quite Jacob. If you look at that board I posted it has a DVI-D port, not a DVI-I port. If you want to use the DVI-D port on a VGA monitor you need the more expensive Active DVI to VGA adapter. Those cheap ones won't work.

you can always get an DVI to VGA adapter OR cable. they are cheap if you dont have one.

It certainly does matter. Knowing whether the mobo has a DVI-I or VGA port is certainly useful information. If not DVI-I or VGA, you can't use a "cheap 2 dollar" adapter. You would need an active converter/adapter.

Just a matter of being thorough.

BTW, I have 2 B350 (both are Asus models) systems and both have VGA ports, but only one has a DVI-D port. There is some variability to be considered across various models/makes.

So all in all, just get a motherboard that supports the new Ryzen APU's, which most do already, and make sure it has a VGA out port and your set.

More or less yes. VGA/Analog is being phased out. The days of passive DVI to VGA are coming to an end. If you are still using VGA monitors please upgrade. It's time.

Hey, im still using VGA at 768p, I don't have any problems with it. Also im using an APU too, just a slower one and can't run any game at a higher res so a new monitor is useless to me.

AMD and Nvidia have both dropped VGA/Analog support from their newest GPUs. (10 series and Vega.) The time for VGA/Analog is coming to an end. Sorry. You can keep using adapters and what not. But the writing is on the wall.

I don't see AMD dropping VGA on there APU's too soon since there more for low end players that are still running VGA like me. But don't expect it on there next APU's. Your going to want to get a new monitor soon but you should be fine now just make sure a new monitor had HDMI or at least DVI-D support

You are mistaken there too. While yes VGA is an old standard, it wouldn't be on the board if it didn't work, you just got unlucky with that board and it didn't work. I have seen many review of the APU and boards that support it and they use VGA just fine with no issues. We would appreciate it if you would spend a bit more research into this before saying it won't work because you had a board that didn't work with VGA, also you got output out of the VGA port so why are you complaining anyways, you were able to use it fine once in Windows.
