Eurgh, all my computer parts were delivered today and it looks like I missed a few things out of my order, and ordered the wrong mobo.

Firstly, I ordered the GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 Z68. I thought this model had HDMI, but it doesn't appear to have it. I hope it's not a terrible motherboard...

So, easiest thing to do at this point is probably to buy a PCI-E graphics card. One of my monitors is HDMI, and the other standard VGA. What's the best solution? All I'm really going to be doing is editing photos/video. Games aren't really a big deal, so I'm looking for the cheapest/best option at this point.

Thanks

James
 
Jimbob, thanks - will the 'Sapphire HD 5450 1GB DDR3 HDMI DVI VGA Out PCI-E Low Profile Graphics Card' be the same just with more memory? It's only a few £ more, shall I go with that one?

BoonMonkey - It's so annoying, huh? It's only because I had so many tabs open, I musta just clicked on the wrong one. Did you buy the 1gb or 512mb version?

Thanks both!
