No VGA port?

Ce3in · Sep 6, 2014

Hi. I just got my parts yesterday and I finished today. Now when I was going to connect my VGA to the backside of my case I couldn't find a VGA port, only hdmi and display port which isn't compatible with my display.

Here are some of my parts:
i7 4790k
MSI Gaming 7
NZXT H440

I've got no gpu because I decided to work on the iGpu for now until Gtx 980 gets released.

Sorry, I'm really a noob when it comes to building computers, but was the VGA supposed to come with the motherboard or not?

Exactly which MSI Gaming 7 do you have?

Few computers come with VGA now, because very few people use it.

newer motherboards/videocards dont come with vga anymore since its getting older but to solve your problem just buy a hdmi to vga adapter

I assume this is the Z97-Gaming 7 board. It sounds like you just need a DisplayPort to VGA adapter like this:

As long as the monitor uses at most 1920 x 1080 resolution, you should be fine.

if you don't want to buy a new monitor then you can buy a HDMI to VGA converter. On ebay they can be bought very cheaply for ~$10 USD. I bought one, and quality is actually very good.

The motherboard doesn't have a VGA port. It is a high end motherboard and VGA ports are not very high end. If your display supports DVI you can buy a cheap HDMI to DVI adapter or cable. Otherwise you need a more expensive active HDMI to VGA adapter or a new display.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the answers. I'm going to buy the Cable now and wait for the new gpu+monitor to come. Peace.
