I'm working on my first build, and I'm using an asus m5a97 LE R2.0 as my motherboard and eventually I'm buying an Asus GeForce GTX 660 as my graphics card. I was looking at my motherboard, and I didn't see an outlet to plug my monitor into. I was wondering if I needed to run my monitor through my graphics card, and if so how do I set up my build so that the cord runs to the outside of my case.
Do I need to connect my monitor through a graphics card?

You need a graphics card for that board.
And no you don't connect it on the inside.
The installed graphics card will have plugs on the back of the PC in the expansion slots.

heres a pic showing the connections you need to connect to which will be coming out from the rear of your case after you install the card to your pci slot.
