Hello everyone,

So I am building a custom pc containing what I hope will be an r9 280x and an Asus M5A97 R2.0 motherboard.

I have seen a video unboxing the motherboard and it seems like it does not have an HDMI port.

I was hoping to use my Toshiba HDTV as my screen in the future. It has two HDMI ports, the classic yellow-white-red inputs, and an input for the blue wire which has two grip screws on each side.

So in this situation, do I need some extra component to use my TV in HD? Does the motherboard contain an HDMI input that I have not seen? Or is there more to it that I can really see? Please leave your answers in thorough detail so I can understand.

Thank you

You'll be using the ports off the 280X video card, not the mobo, and the 280X does have HDMI ;)

Like Tradesman said, the motherboard not having HDMI doesn't matter at all. You're supposed to connect the video card to the screen, not the motherboard to the screen.

Thanks! As you can probably tell I'm a noob with computers :) .
