would this build work without a gpu?



cpu: amd fx 6300
motherboard: AsRock 970 Extreme3 Motherboard
ram: G.Skill RipjawsX 8GB
case: Zalman Z11
powersupply: Novatech PowerStation Gaming 400W Silent ATX2 Modular Power Supply
harddrive: samsung HD160jj/p (I've already have it)
dvd-rw: TS-H652 (I've already have it)

Thanks
 
No, neither the motherboard nor the CPU have graphics capabilities - the easiest way to tell is to look at the I/O ports of the motherboard, in the case of the AsRock 970 Extreme3, you notice there are no DVI, HDMI or even VGA outputs... nowhere to connect a monitor, that should be your first indication that a dedicated graphics card will be needed.
Hope it helps
