Hello. I have ordered all of the parts for my budget gaming PC, that is excluding the graphics card, at this point which I will likely get gifted for christmas. My question is if I'm going to be using this system without integrated graphics (as I'm using an AMD Athlon 760k) will I be able torun games such as League of Legends, Minecraft, and Basic Steam games? Thank you for the help.

You can boot up but you won't see anything, making it impossible to configure the BIOS or install Windows. You need a GPU in order to get a display.

The 760K does not have integrated graphics. In order to use your PC, you have to get a GPU. I'd recommend buying something cheap (maybe like a used card or one of those HD 5450s they sell for $25 new) until you get a decent card.

I need a card to use my computer at all? What will happen when I try to boot into the bios? And will it not install widows without a gpu?
