Why would you want a motherboard with built-in HDMI when you have a good dedicated GPU?

I second a lot of the comments here.

You can go with a low level motherboard as you have a locked CPU, there are just a few questions you'd need to answer;

 

What kind of audio set up do you want?
How many rear panel USB plugs do you need?

How much RAM do you need?

 

You don't need an HDMI port on the motherboard either, as you don't have an iGPU on that CPU.
