Hi
Yes you would I am afraid. It has no onboard graphics available.

Thank You

Decided to buy a decent graphics card an connect my computer to my TV instead of buying a monitor.

I would advise getting one with HDMI output that way you can use the audio as well as video from the TV.

No problem, it is easy to forget the simplest of things and then it can be a costly mistake. ;)
