I just built my very first PC using a Gigabyte B550M WiFi 6 motherboard, an XFX Radeon 9060XT GPU, a Ryzen 7 5800XT CPU, and two 8GB sticks of RAM. Everything's powered on with lights and fans running, but I'm stuck because there's no display on my monitor. Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong?

First off, make sure your PC is actually posting. The best way to troubleshoot is to unplug everything—both inside and outside the case—to isolate the problem. Also, check if your motherboard has an integrated GPU that you can use to connect your monitor instead of the dedicated graphics card.
Double-check that your display cable is properly connected to the graphics card. If it’s connected to the motherboard instead, you won’t get a display. It's a common mistake, especially with a new build!
If you’re still stuck after checking the cable, consider pulling the RAM and reseating it, or even trying to boot with just one stick at a time. Also, make sure to check for any BIOS updates; it might help with initialization issues.
