Will this work?

Hey all i am about to pick a motherboard and i think i have chosen the one i would like

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1963472&sku=M452-6253

anyways it has no HDMI output so i was wondering if i will be able to use my graphics card HDMI for my monitor?
and will this downgrade my performance at all?

also this seems like the cheapest and best SLI ready motherboard but if you know of any others please let me know

thanks in advance

The link doesnt work, btw why do u need mobo with HDMI, if you are asking about SLI.
If you will use dedicated card it will have HDMI/DVI output anyways.. and if u wont then you don't need anything more than DVI output...

You don't need the worry about the motherboards outputs if you have a dedicated GPU for graphics the AMD AM3+ CPU's don't have onboard GPU's so they don't need/have any on the motherboard. Besides that if you are going to SLI/Crossfire I would spring for a 990X or 990FX based board is you can as those boards have more PCI-E lanes for the GPU to use for SLI/Crossfire communication.

Hi tyrant3883,
Perhaps this one

Do you already have the CPU ?

thanks for the info perhaps i can prod you some more hehe So using the output from the gpu wont cause any differences? i heard there is power usage differences. and do you know if the built in cpu of the processor affects the GPU? sorry im a noob

There are power usage differences for sure but it is much less than it used to be years ago as modern dedicated GPU's have the ability to drop their power usage based on current usage. Mind you going with the onboard GPU means a loss in gaming capability desktops don't commonly have the ability to use dynamic switchable graphics like notebooks do.
