i just bought the Asus M2N-E-SLI motherboard with AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.8GHZ cpu my question is the mobo has no onboard vga i did also buy a video card that does have vga
PNY GeForce 7300 GT 256MB PCIe w/DVI/HDTV/TV-OUT
when i finish my build will i be able to use that vga out without having the drivers and stuff installed for the video card because without a monitor i cant see what I am doing to get the pc set up any help would be great

Yeah, all OSs come with a basic set of video drivers to begin with so you can do all the setup things, but getting some proper video drivers should be quite high on your list of priorities. :)
