Default Really dumb question.
Can you run a FX motherboard (successfully) without a graphics card? Will it put the load on the CPU? or will it just not work.

Does the motherboard have any vga or dvi ports on the back? If so it has an intergrated gpu and you can use it without a discrete graphics card. Game performance will suffer, but it will work.
