I'm building a pc in stages. Can I use basic programs (browse internet,etc) w/ this board and a cpu without a graphics card (which I will get later)?

You can, but this board does not have onboard graphics, so you will have to make sure that your processor has integrated graphics

No this is just a basic computer for regular stuff like browsing the internet and do some office work. if you plan to game you have to add memory and a good video card, and even like that it maybe slow cause it have a Pentium 4 processor.

Intel Core i5-4xxx Processors use Intel HD Graphics 4600 which is built into the CPU instead of being a separate chip on the motherboard. If you are concerned about performance, you might want to get a dedicated graphics card.

This board comes with an Intel Celeron 1007U processor, which does have integrated Intel HD graphics and HDMI output already onboard, so you do not need to get a graphics card. Of course, the integrated graphics is very basic. It can do simple video playback but cannot do any heavy duty gaming. For that you would need an external graphics card.

It's just an Athlon processor at that point. If you aren't wanting to use the gpu I would get either an FX chip or Intel chip depending on your preferences. This should still work but it's not as good as either of those. The AMD APU's are really designed to be a cheap solution for an integrated chipset setup.

No the board does not come with the CPU. That would be another $300 approximately.

You need a processor that has a built in graphics. Like the A4, A6 or A8.Like this AMD Quad-Core A8-Series APU A8-6600K with Radeon HD 8570D (AD660KWOHLBOXThe processor you have is a straight CPU, where as the A4, A6 and A8 are classed as APUs.The processor you have will need a dedicated graphics card to go along with the board.

No, there is no onboard graphics. It will use the built in graphics on your CPU if your CPU has it.

you will need a hard drive a processor and RAM barebones means that you add the hardware yourself. Only thing inside is the motherboard.

There is no integrated graphics, probably should get a nvidia graphics card(or ATI)The processor handles 3D applications like a champ, also multiple applications at once really well. I did find one more processor for socket 775 that is a bit faster, I forget the model I want to say Q9650 I believe

Doesnt look like anybody answered this entirely correctly.... there is NO onboard graphics... there is an HDMI out for CPUs that have onboard graphics capability, which is not all of them.... refer to the intel compatibility list to see which CPUs provide graphics and which don't.... but if you are planning to do gaming, none of the CPU based graphics engines are good enough and you should get a capable graphics card.... IMO, currently Nvidia has a much better driver set that ATI

This is just a quad-core AMD CPU. No video processor is built into it. You'll need a separate video card.

Yes. As for graphics card, this model doesn't have a standalone graphics card since it has Intel HD graphics, but you can add a card if you wish.

A somewhat silly question. You don't NEED a graphics card if the APU has built in graphics.From the board specifications - ***asterisks*** for emphasis:***Onboard Graphics***: 1 x D-Sub port; 1 x DVI-D port, supporting a maximum resolution of 2560x1600; 1 x HDMI port, supporting a maximum resolution of 1920x1200; 1 x Display Port, supporting a maximum resolution of 2560x1600

You cannot, you will need to get a processor from somewhere else that can boot the board, do the update, then use the new APU. There is no way to boot the bios without a processor.

Yes you can game with this CPU. Please check with game for specification requirements.

If you have it you can use it, but its a server m/b and wants a more expensive server chip and memory. This is designed for high compute use, not video performance, and is not the latest & greatest board on the market either. There are newer, much better (desktop) boards available for the money, with the newer, faster PCI-E specifications, which is needed for the newest video cards. I wouldn't buy one if gaming was the prmary usage. Get a decent m/b, a mid-to-high Intel i5 ot i7 cpu, and then the best viseo card you can afford. You will need 16 Gb of memeory for some games these days, so make sure you start with 8 and have room to expand (4 slots x 4Gb is good enough) if you need it.
