Do I need a video card?

I am building a new computer that will be used for video editing. I have 4 GB of RAM and a good motherboard. I am good with using computers, just not building them... So my question is, will I need a video card? what does the video card do? and what are some good ones?



Thanks!|||i guess u wont need anything but u could hav mention ur onboard graphics and i prefer u to adjust buffer level to 512mb in bios and still if ur not satisfied try Nvidia 8800GTS!|||You will need a video card with this motherboard... To tell if a motherboard supplies video you are looking for a "yes" under "onboard video." I would not recommend purchasing a motherboard with onboard video as it will sap your memory and processor usage and you probably will need a high quality picture with the work you described. It looks like this motherboard is optimized to work with Nvidia type cards.



Video cards "create" the picture/video that displays on your monitor.|||Without the video card the computer won't boot up you won't be able to see any thing on the screen unless you have it built in on the mother board.|||Yes you need a video card video cards is what displays images on your screen this is what I have and reccomend.
