Hey!,so im getting a new gaming rig and i still want my old display for discord chat and quick google searches but the the graphics card and the motherboard doesnt have a vga port so would getting a VGA to HDMI connecter solve the problem and if it does,do i connect it to the HDMI port on the motherboard or the graphics card,sorry im new to pcs

if you have a graphics card that has aditional ports not being used i would always suggest that you use them before using integrated graphics.

so yes if you have a hdmi --> vga cable then you can use it with your old monitor as a discord monitor, i do the same (except i have a normal hdmi) with one of mine.

if you're from denmark i'd recommend buying from avcables.

how would audio work though?

you do not have a headset that all audio comes through?

if you just use the monitor and you need the audio then i think it's possible to buy a hdmi --> vga converter that also adds audio.

Can you run the onboard graphics and the GPU at the same time ? If yes use any of the 2 just displaying a desktop does not task anything that much. If you wanted to go dual screen for gaming i would use the GPU but in your case any port will do.
