i'm going to get a new motherboard, namely the Asus P5K Intel P35 , but dont want to buy a pci express card just yet, i have a vga monitor, so i was hoping it would be possible to buy an adaptor, and run the computer through the motherboard untill i cough up some more cash... is this possible?

That motherboard doesnt have built in VGA.
S/PDIF is used for sound.

Not many Good Mobos have built in Graphics, you will regret later, just wait till you can afford a Good Mobo and a Good PCI-E GPU.

or buy the Asus P5K with a low-end graphics solution for now rather than onboard
upgrade to a more powerful GPU later on if needed
edit: the Asus P5K + a 7300GT, for example

yeah you are better spending more money on a good motherboard, that will leave you with a solid base to build on in the future
