New build POST 5 beeps

This thread actually addresses the issue I joined the forum to find out about.  Considering it took me only five minutes to find this, I suppose for me that is a record.  Talk about dumb luck!  I too noticed that the Mobo I was planning on buying boasts the built in graphics and just under an hour ago visiting the AMD site, found that the general specs for their CPUs are now noting whether or not the CPU requires a dedicated Graphics card.  Well, I guess this thread answered that question.  Here is a link to the AMD Ryzen page specifying which CPUs won't work without the graphics card.  https://www.amd.com/en/ryzen-5 ;   :)

A search on Newegg.com gets at least 30 hits for "motherboard with GPU" and selecting "Embeded solution" to further finese the search.  Maybe they are lying to us about the GPU, but in my experience Newegg is about the least problematic of all the places I shop on line for PC parts.  I've used a Jetway board when I lived in Russia back in 2003 which had it's own GPU if memory serves, so I do think it is an option. 

I've got a few months to decide which Mobo to get for the build.  IDK Martin if you stopped me from making any errors or not.  I'm picking the CPU first, and the memory second and the MoBo will accommodate them first, expansion cards and drives second, and for sure I am sticking with Asrock because the tech people actually do PICK UP THE %^$#@ phone when you need help!! (Like people are supposed to do!)  LOL.  

The build is for my son who is 32, so I think he could care less about gaming.  It's been a learning experience so far to be sure.  Here is your link Xhue >> https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007623&IsNodeId=1&Description=motherboard%20and%20GPU%20combo&name=Embedded%20Solutions&isdeptsrh=1  

If those Mobos don't have a GPU then I get to harass Newegg with an email and complain about their search engine (again).   Let me know please, thanks in advance.  :)
