Hi, I'm looking for clarification...if a mb says no onboard video chipset, does that mean I must buy a gpu, or that I can use a cpu with a built in video chip like intel i3,i5, i7?
I won't be gaming, just surfing and pics etc. Mb must have usb3.0, hdmi, sata 6, and raid.
Any suggestions welcome.

The question is...what is the difference between two ( almost) identical mobos, one with "no video onboard" and the second with, say..."radeon hd 4290"? And what chip features do I need to consider for each mobo? Thanks.
