If you want to have literally any interaction with a monitor, you will need a graphics card. In fact, the motherboard will not finish POST without one. You can get a "good enough" one for ~$70

So, you can't use the onboard graphics?

I like it but it's over my budget with an OS.

Oops, you caught me! I didn't realize the board supported onboard graphics. I'm Sorry! looks like you're good to go I suppose

Motherboards don't, but CPUs do.

I tried to add the motherboard and case to the list but they weren't in the parts database at PCPartPicker.co.uk.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97M-DS3H S1150 Intel Z97 4xDDR3 8xUSB3.0 4xUSB2.0 GBE mATX

Case: Cooler Master N Series N400 Chassis with Window for PC

Is this compatible? Is the motherboard and case compatible with the rest of the build?

No. I would suggest you get the build i made you, at 500 pounds you shouldn't even be looking at nicely looking mobos and cases. With the build i made you can play almost rvery game at max settings at 1080p

I like it. The z97 motherboard might have a couple features you won't use, but if you ever need them in the future, it's a good board to have. The modular power supply will help with cabling in a small case. The CPU you picked has built-in graphics that will do just fine... even if you do decide to play an indie game from time to time. Intel HD 4600 graphics aren't terrible.

Thanks.

[watts300]

Thanks.

I just looked it up. The N400 case is larger than I thought. Unless you have multiple hard drives now, or plan on adding more in the future or a video card down the road, you could easily pull off the N200 case instead. It's smaller and cheaper. Same brand.
