How bad is to run a monitor on the GPU and one in the motherboard?
That's not really how it works. You can't pick and choose which graphics chip runs what processes - unless you're running a gaming laptop where the dedicated and onboard graphics switch on and off dynamically based on what application you currently have open. Perhaps there's a way to add that functionality to your desktop PC, but I guess you'd still have to make some hardware changes as you'd need to keep hotswapping between GPU and onboard graphics. I'm sure it's technically possible but it sounds like it may be well beyond your average consumer to implement. Most consumers just plug the GPU in and let it go to town.There was/is something called PhysX, where you get a second dedicated GPU and allow that to handle physics calculations in games, which I guess is a teeny, tiny bit like what you're referring to (sort of). Even that is rarely used nowadays though.Furthermore, I’m not 100% certain you can simultaneously use the motherboard and GPU graphics anyway. This is because the BIOS disables onboard/integrated graphics when you plug in a GPU. I remember trying to use both so I could have multiple HDMI monitors and, even after forcing integrated graphics to run in the BIOS, it would still only display on 1 monitor at a time; if I forced integrated/onboard graphics to run, the GPU would disable and if I stopped forcing integrated to run, the GPU would become the default again. I got around this problem by buying a DVI-HDMI adapter - that meant having one monitor running off straight HDMI into the back of the GPU (only one HDMI port) and then the other monitor’s HDMI cable going into the adapter before going into one of the GPU’s DVI ports.By the sounds of it though, you're not looking for multi-monitor advice - I'm just providing you with my anecdote to let you know that it might not be as easy as you think.
How do I connect a 1440p monitor without a VGA port to a PC that only has a VGA port?
From the picture I can see that your motherboard is Biostar A785GEA785GE Ver. 6.0/6.1/6.2/6.3 AMD Socket motherboard gaming-BiostarAs seen from its specification the biostar motherboard does have a DVI output and a VGA output , in that case you can use your DVI port from the motherboard to connect to your monitor.In case your monitor doesnt have a DVI port but only HDMI , in that case you can use a DVI to HDMI connector.Although in the rarest of the cases that your motherboard only have a VGA port , in that case you can use a VGA to DVI connector.The above three solutions only tell how to connect your motherboard to your monitor.Now if your motherboard and processor can support 1440p is a different case, although as seen from your motherboard spec , it has ATI HD 4200 Series graphics and can easily support 1440p resolution.

What is the HDMI port in a motherboard?
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is “a proprietary audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed video data and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from an HDMI-compliant source device, such as a display controller, to a compatible computer monitor, video projector, digital television, or digital audio device.”You connect a motherboard HDMI port to an HDMI port of a compatible monitor, or to the DVI or DP ports, provided that you have an appropriate adapting cable.
Can I plug a VGA from a motherboard and an HDMI from the graphics card separately to a monitor?
It’s unlikely this will work. For most motherboards, when a graphics card is detected in the PCI or PCIe slot during POST, the BIOS disables the onboard video in favor of the (presumably) more powerful dedicated (sometimes referred to as “discrete”) graphics card. In every case I have seen, this is also not configurable from BIOS, it is entirely automated. There are SOME motherboards that allow both to be used, but in general, this is not a good idea. The reasoning is that Intel, Nvidia, and AMD all have different (and potentially conflicting) sets of drivers and graphics management applications. If a motherboard manufacturer was to allow for a board with an integrated Intel video chipset to have a second concurrent GPU, it would allow a customer to install an AMD video card and have all sorts of funky issues. So it is best practice for the manufacturers to just remove this possibility from the equation.
How do I connect my PC to a TV without a VGA port? The PC only has a VGA port and doesn't have a PCI x16 or DDR3 slot vacant for a graphics card.
You can connect using one of the following ways:-If you have an old TV most probably it will have RCA connectors.. these are three Red/White/Yellow colored connectors. You can buy a VGA to RCA adaptor and use toconnect your pc. You will also need a VGA cable from your PC to the adaptor.If you have a high end motherboard in your PC, it may have an HDMI port. You can directly buy an HDMI cable and connect it from PC to TV.If your TV is really old school and just has an AV input, youcan buy a VGA to AV converter box. It will come with a small power supply to power it up.If you plan to keep alternating the TV between PC output and cable-tv channels, you can buy a TV tuner box directly. But it may not support digital set top boxes.Buy a top end set top box that has optional VGA input. This option is limited to a few people whose operators have options of auch set top boxes for their cable subscribers.If nothing of the above works, buy a small monitor from amazon .. or a used one. Its really convenient that way. :D
Should I use an HDMI from a motherboard or GPU?
It doesn’t really matter usually. If you have a MB with HDMI then it should be able to do the minimum amount to do what HDMI does. There are of course newer HDMI standards for 4K like HDMI 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 (which essentially specify 10.2 and 18 gigabits per second, respectively)With the higher bandwidth video, you will probably have better luck with the GPU, and definitely so with gaming. I had a dual monitor configuration set up this weekend, building a GTX 1060 gamebox with both (MB and GPU) HDMI ports being used. The monitor with the GTX was benchmarking 96fps on Ultra detail settings at 1920x1080, while the one with the the integrated Intel HD 510 Skylake graphics were struggling to maintain 8fps on Medium detail at the same resolution.
What processor is this motherboard compatible with?
You pretty much answered your own question there: Supports the following processors: Athlon 64 X2 with Dual Core technology up to 5600+ (up to 89 watt) Athlon 64 less than 4000+ Sempron less than 4000+ --------------------------------------... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_AM2 This will give you a more general idea of what processors will fit into a AM2 socket.
Motherboard (ASRock H81M-HDS), how to configure HDMI-out?
So right now Im using a sanyo tv as a monitor, connecting the HDMI to my graphics card (AMD Radeon R7 200 Series). As far as I know I have installed all the drivers, but the HDMI-out port on the motherboard doesn't seem to work. Just wondering what could be the problem here, thanks.
