Installation without integrated graphics

[Potatonano]

Hi!
I'm about to upgrade my computer.
I'm upgrading my cpu and my motherboard wich means i have to reinstall windows.

CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3
Motherboard: ASUS Z97-AR

The cpu doesn't have integrated graphics and I'm wondering how the installation works then.
Because don't you need the integrated graphics to install windows and later install the drivers for your graphic card?
Should I do something in the BIOS to connect my graphics card without drivers or something?

Sorry for my bad English. /potatonano

If the cpu doesn't have integrated video then you will need a dedicated video card in order to do anything. As long as the video card works, then windows will install without issue. You will just need to update the driver after installation.

so if I use my graphic card (AMD R7950) it will work without problem?

yes

The installer uses a generic vga driver, you will be fine with the 7950.
