What will you be using the PC for I see you said no gaming do you need HMDI or a video card?

No. Its for a friend. Basic school work, internet, typing papers, maybe some kid games, nothing fancy at all. Just a basic family pc but i want to make it nice.

So onboard video would be fine cause i really doubt she'd want to upgrade to do much of anything special - but something good enough to watch movies on it.

A friend of mine has this mobo and he uses only the onboard video/audio.
All he does is light school work, web, and movies. And says the video
is great.
