    I am building a new computer system
    I got a ASUS AMD M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard It comes with a AMD FX6300 unblocked 6 core Black Edition CPU
    I going to go with 8 BG Memory
    I am not going to overclock anything running win7 pro 64bit
    The main purpose of this computer is work at home for my from my job(work at home) and surf the internet. It will not be used for gaming not at all.
    Here is my question, the FX6300 I understand has No graphics build into it,So I need to install a Graphics card. Or get another AMD processor that has build in graphics and the it will enable me to use my motherboard graphics
    Which is the best way to go?
    Thanks for any advise

    Hi John32073, Quote from Asus Specs sheet:
    You should be able to boot up and use the ATI Radeon HD3000 GPU which is "Integrated" in the M/B.
    Otherwise you can choose a Graphics card to suit your needs. Neil.

    From the what and how it was explained to me is the FX6300 does not process the graphics data from the internet to send to the motherboard onboard graphics to display. Other AMD CPU do but the FX series doesnt But they are fast and a good CPU

    John have a look in my System Details. You'll see Asus M/B and FX6300 CPU.
    I had to use a Gigabyte Graphics card as my board hasn't any integrated graphics.
    Have you completed the build? Have you tried the onboard graphics? Neil.

    For normal office work, the built in HD3000 series is more than enough. I have been using an AMD system for last 4 years & have faced no problem so far.
