Zic · Dec 31, 2016

hi I'm building a PC for my grampa he will be checking emails and stuff like that and if I use integrated graphics do I need to use a PCIe expansion slot because the intergraded graphics are on the CPU so i just put nothing in the PCIe expansion slots and just plug the display port or HDMI into the motherboard but thats not the case with the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883221325&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Desktop+PC-_-N82E16883221325&gclid=Cj0KEQiAy53DBRCo4en29Zvcla0BEiQAVIDcc1Kn0Q_elbTIEs6JlorccWpQECXL6AKFWTnOxKeMdnkaAmy68P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds this one says it has intel 510 graphics but it looks like there using a PICe expansion slot on the back (im comparing models like the one im building so i sort of know the price range im using a intel core Intel® Core™ i3-6098P for his computer same as the one in the link above

Thanks

Zic :

That particular PC at Newegg has nothing to do with what you are building.

What looks like it is coming from a PCI-E slot, really isn't. It is actually part of the motherboard.
Similarly, where is the PSU plug for the wall? It is actually the little tiny round hole at the top of the I/O plate.

That thing is basically a laptop board inside a small desktop looking case.

If you are building a system with actual desktop parts, and your CPU (Intel?) includes an iGPU...you do not need to worry about the PCI-E slot.
The monitors will connect directly to ports on the motherboard I/O plate.

either the description of the above PC is wrong or the picture is wrong.
Using the built in graphics no video card is used.
For what your talking about doing something like this would work just fine using a HDMI monitor or TV.
