I have all the parts for my pc except for the graphics card which arrives next week and i was wondering if my pc will work without it so that i can install Windows and such , i wont be gaming or anything until my gpu arrives here obviously but i just want to see if the parts work. My cpu is the ryzen 1500x and my mobo is the Asrock AB350 pro 4 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/P6Hxm8 thanks in advance

You won't be able to use onboard graphics since your Ryzen CPU doesn't have a integrated GPU. if you look at your motherboard it has graphics ports but they are only for the AMD A10 APU's processors. All the new Rayzen are not built in gpu. For example the i5 7000's and the i7 have on board GPU's that's why the motherboard is built in HDMI.

Read what you post before posting incorrect conclusions.
 


The motherboard only has graphics when using an APU.

You will not be able to use integrated graphics as your Ryzen CPU does not have integrated graphics.
 


no, the mb has the "ability" to use integrated video depending on the CPU
