The motherboard has Integrated AMD Radeon R/HD8000/HD7000 Series Graphics in the A-Series APU, however the Athlon X4 760K is not an A-Series APU. It is compatible with the motherboard, but it is a CPU not an APU and it has no graphics. You must use an add-on video card with that CPU.

Ok, I was planning on putting a video card in it anyway, so I will just have to save up a little bit more! Thanks
