Good day, My friend bought a new  pc but he bought the parts one by one, motherboard, cpu, ram and box

 

when he turns it on the screen is not coming on, the CPU says on the box needs a Graphics card.

 

i just want to make sure i need a card for the screen to come on or should it by default turn the screen on for bois?

if you have an integrated gpu in your cpu then you should be able to use that as a video output.

if you don't have an i-gpu then you have to buy a graphics card

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

If the CPU is one without an integrated GPU then yes, you will need a graphics card to see anything on screen.
