I just built my first computer, and while I know it's a bit of a challenge these days, I really needed a new setup. Everything seems to be powered on—the motherboard lights up, the fans are running, and I double-checked that all the connections are secure. However, I'm not getting any display from my graphics card. Here are my specs: I'm using an MSI arsenal gaming power supply, a Radeon XFX graphics card, an MSI CPU cooler and fan, an 8850M pro RS Wi-Fi motherboard, Crucial 16GB RAM, and an AMD Ryzen 5 CPU.
I appreciate any guidance!

Did you make sure your graphics card is seated properly in the PCIe slot? Sometimes it can look like everything's fine, but if it's slightly off, you won't get a signal. Also, check if the monitor is connected to the correct output of the GPU.
What CPU are you using? It’s also worth looking for any debug lights on your motherboard; they can give you clues about what might be going wrong if something isn’t connecting properly.
I'm using the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, but I didn’t see any debug lights on the mobo!
Yes, I did build it and made sure everything was plugged in correctly!
