Hi all,

first post so please be gentle.

My Spec so far
Asus SABERTOOTH P67 R3 P67 Socket 1155 Motherboard
i7 2600K CPU
Corsair 120GB Force 3 SSD
OCZ ZX Series 850W 80+ GOLD PSU
8GB 1333Mhz Kingston RAM (just budget stuff for now)
Thermaltake Level 10 GT Full Tower Case


Really all i want is to be able to output the video for now. should i just buy a really cheap card for now? like even say £20 just so i can? If im right the motherboard im getting doesn't have even a VGA onboard?

sorry i still learning (very slowly)

I wont be bothered about performance for now, as long as i have a working system.Then 3 weeks/4weeks later can spend £300 - £400 on a card. like wise i intend to upgrade my RAM, but for the moment i have a usable system.

hope you can understand what I'm trying to do
 
Hi Penguin, thanks for your reply.

Thanks, glad to be assured :) cant wait for it to be shipped - everything else is here lol

Ah thanks for the heads up, Will just stick with the RAM then :) no point spending when not needed

Any budget graphics cards with VGA / DVI output you would reccomend please? I literally need to use this ASAP, having to use a netbook atm and rapidly loosing my patience with them little Atom processors :eek:
 
Thanks for all your replies.

I'm not necessarily stuck with P67 board. I could return it/cancel the order before its shipped.

what about this mobo instead?

Surely that has everything the sabertooth P67 has if not more?

Like I said, I just need a usable system for now. Then a month down the line I'll spend some decent money on a nice graphics card to match the rest of my system : )
