I have not built a computer in over 10 years. Does this barebones not need audio or video cards?

That's right, you don't need them anymore for decent audio & video. If you want to use the machine for intensive gaming or video editing or something, obviously you'd want to add a card.

No, you only need an LGA 1155 processor (core i3, i5, or i7). Some memory and a hard drive (I prefer an SSD. The audio and video are on the motherboard. If you need higher performance video and audio you can add a card, but ensure that the video card is a "low power" card. This was the best and most stable build I've built. Great motherboard.

No audio or video cards needed, unless you plan on using it for a serious gaming console. It has dual DVI outputs and I have it connected to two HP 24" monitors. I also have to hard drives inside, a 120GB Raptor and a 1TB Seagate. Sung but awesome lil' PC.

No, the audio and video are built in and are petty good. You will need a pair of amplified speakers.

I didn't need them but the audio sometimes would have a clicking sound when programs would load so I used an audio interface.

Audio and video are integrated with option to upgrade (there is a slot available).

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

I thought it was fine. The general opinion these days is that better brands of motherboards use fine on board sound solutions. I say order it without and test if it's acceptable to you. It's easy to add on a sound card later if you don't plan on using the Pci-express slot fir a video card.

I think you may be getting confused by this product. It is literally just the case with no components. You will have to buy the components separate (Optical drive, Motherboard, CPU, Memory etc) and build yourself. Sorry for the dissapointment.

Its the tower, keyboard and mouse. No screen or speakers.its a ok pc not my favorite.

Yes, I believe so. But, there really isn't a need for a sound card, because this board already comes with a SupremeFX Formula sound card onboard.

No. At least I didn't get any speakers with it. Seems like a very nice computer, other than the operating system that comes with it.

I pretty sure the video card has its own ran. The system can take up to 16gb of ram and I recommend all of it with a solid state hard drive.

It has a standard PCI interface. If your board has that then it should work. It's a middle quality board. The driver is low quality but you can research the chip manufacturer and download the native driver with lower overhead but less features. You get what you pay for and this board is better than no sound, which is what I had. If you want a high quality gamer, research the different sound card chip sets and find a board with a high performance architecture.

Yes. I started with windows XP for testing and initial set up. If you are using a video card that has HDMI out put, install the mother board audio after the video card drivers are installed. This is nessessary because the video audio drivers will take out the mother board sound. Other than that no problems

This is a barebone computer and it does not come bundled with CPU, RAM or a HDD

Not really sure. I don't do any video stuff. But it's a really good computer -- fast and reliable

Forgot to mention, these cards do not require any extra plug ins from your power supply. That should give you an idea how little the video card needs.

This is a barebones pc. You need to buy the processor, hard drive, memory, and OS seperately and install them.

Is not necessary, because inside the mother board you can take the HDMI video output to connect to any HD screen, but if you wish can install an additional graphics card.

No the motherboard itself does not you would have to buy a video card with a HDMI output. It does have a digital out for audio though.
