I recently built a new PC, which was pretty exciting! I made sure everything was plugged in correctly, but when I turn it on, my monitor just shows no output. I'm not very experienced with PC builds, so I'm not sure where the issue could be. I did check that the GPU and fans are running, but I'm completely stumped. Here's a link to my parts list if that helps: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/P2qGZc.

Make sure your HDMI or display cable is plugged into the GPU instead of the motherboard. Sometimes people accidentally connect it to the motherboard, which won't work if you're using a dedicated GPU.
I have my RAM in slots 1 and 3. Should I move them to 2 and 4 instead?
Yup, I checked that! It’s definitely connected to the GPU.
