What is this computer for. If it's for gaming there is no real advantage to using HDMI. All HDMI does it allow digital video and audio to be transferred on the same cable. A DVI cable is more than good enough for most people. The only time I can see using HDMI is in home theatre.

You will not be using the mobo outputs for gaming because you have to use the video card outputs to use the video card. Hdmi and dvi are both digital, the only difference is hdmi has audio. I see you are looking at the 560, all of them should have dvi and hdmi (or usually mini hdmi with an adapter included).
