first the background - i'm upgrading my system for video rendering. I'm a 70 yr old fart that built his first PC 2 years ago with nearly zero computer literacy. My literacy today, on a scale of 0 - 100, might be 10.
The question - it occurred to me, the i7-5960x does not have an integral graphics processor - so when i'm installing the BIOS (using one of the 3 methods ASUS offers with it's motherboards, how in the hell am i supposed to be able to view what selections i'm making when installing / adjusting the bios or even installing windows (win7 Pro). Will the computer still show a DOS screen and am i going to have to learn basic dos to install windows?
I realize i'm going to need to install a GPU, but before i get to that point, do i read the screen in braille?
if the question sounds stupid, trust me, i'm feeling particulary stupid this evening
thanks for your time and assist in advance
