I've got the following mobo and cpu, but I'm still waiting on the vid card to arrive in a few days. The mobo has onboard video ports used to support a CPU with an IGP. The CPU I'm using does not have a IGP. Thing is, I've got some time and would like to start assembling the build and testing components before the vid card arrives.
Here's my dumb question. Using a monitor, an I get a display on this mobo/cpu without a video card and without an IGP on the CPU? In other words, will the mobo ports still work with the assumption they will run on the processing power of the CPU?
Mobo: GA-B85-HD3:

CPU: Xeon E3 1230 V3
