Start your PC with the monitor plugged into the motherboard and enter BIOS settings. Often there is also a setting in BIOS on newer boards that allows you to set either a PCI card or AGP card as the primary video device. Make sure this is set to your video card. In your case, you should choose PCI-E since that's what type your card is. So, in BIOS settings look for PCI PnP primary display adapter PCI-E.
Save Settings and Exit BIOS, then plug your monitor into your graphics card.
It sounds like you need to change a BIOS setting. I don't have this MoBo, but on others there is a toggle to make the integrated graphics primary or secondary. You would need to change it to secondary. On this card this should happen automatically - so check BIOS settings and that your new card is properly seated in the slot.
