If it does dual output at once, I'll just get a cable adapter and get this one...
ASRock A320M-HDV AM4 Socket MATX
As mentioned before there are no motherboards that doesn't support at a minimum two outputs - if there are two outputs on the MB. Dual and triple monitors is something everyone expects today.
From the users manual:
AB350M-HDV/A320M-HDV:
• Three graphics output options: D-Sub, DVI-D and HDMI
• Supports Triple Monitor
• Supports HDMI with max. resolution up to 4K x 2K
(4096x2160) @ 24Hz / (3840x2160) @ 30Hz
• Supports DVI-D with max. resolution up to 1920x1200 @
60Hz
• Supports D-Sub with max. resolution up to 2048x1536 @
60Hz
• Supports Auto Lip Sync, Deep Color (12bpc), xvYCC and
HBR (High Bit Rate Audio) with HDMI Port (Compliant
HDMI monitor is required)
• Supports HDCP with DVI-D and HDMI Ports
• Supports Full HD 1080p Blu-ray (BD) playback with DVI-D
and HDMI PortsNote that the resolution on D-Sub and DVI-D has is wrong above. It's the DVI that has the higher resolution.

Yeah @scottalanmiller, I just can’t imaging that the board you mention in the first post (or whichever post it was) does not actually run both outputs at the same time.
-
Awesome guys, thanks. I'll just live with a DVI to HDMI adapter, good enough. That board was so cheap (read: nothing more than what I exactly needed) that'll it'll make the most sense.

@scottalanmiller so now that you have an answer, I want to know WTF you are doing at the component level? I mean seriously. the time spent doing this intrigues me.

He wanted to reuse the processor he already had - from the looks of it.

No, just think that the A10-9700 is the right fit.

That's not what JB asked...

Well - JB asked about component level - and Scott mentioned a specific processor - I assumed (wrongly as stated by Scott's comment) that Scott had a processor he wanted to reuse - that would be why Scout COULD have been looking at components instead of whole systems.
Now that we know that Scott just picked a processor he liked - I agree with JB's question - time to look at whole system that fits the budget, don't worry about a specific processor, other than one that will get the job done.
-
I still don't know why component level was ever looked at. What is the need?
Whitebox is such a waste almost all of the time.

Agreed - who cares what processor it is, unless there was a specific need, like low power consumption, or super high flops, etc.

I was thinking more along the lines why someone is paying Scott $10,000 per hour to spec a motherboard... instead of CEO/CTO/CIO stuff.

Scott has always done this type of stuff as long as I've known him - I'm guessing he's either not paid to do it, or chooses to get paid a lot less TO do it.

So why do you care about the components? Just get something off of a shelf that meets your performance requirements.

@jaredbusch holy hell the world must be coming to an end.

This WAS me buying off of the shelf. The vendor used motherboards that all had this HDMI / DVI limitation.
The one I'm going with is the one in the off the shelf solution.

But you upvoted it based on a false premise. It's a Cybertron OTS that I'm buying.

Well I ordered from Cybertron after doing way too much research to make sure it would meet my needs and guess what, the parts were switched from what was listed and it's useless.
THAT is why you whitebox, because you actually can guarantee what you are getting. Wondering about wasting my time? I spent a load of time ensuring the non-whitebox was correct. I could have built a white box in less labour time AND not waited several days to do it and I just built it myself which takes all of 30 minutes.
