I've set up my new PC with all the components connected, but I'm stuck because my monitor shows 'no signal' and the debug light is red. Can anyone help me figure out how to get a display?

Awesome specs you have! If you're having trouble, make sure everything is properly seated. Any loose cables can cause the monitor not to receive a signal. Are you getting any feedback from the motherboard on what the red light indicates?
Make sure to check the debug light on your motherboard. If it's red and indicating issues with the CPU or RAM, that could be why you can't boot. Sometimes reseating the CPU or RAM can help. Also, try booting with just one stick of RAM to troubleshoot.
To get a display without a dedicated GPU, you need to connect your monitor to the motherboard directly. However, this works only if you have a CPU that has integrated graphics. If your CPU lacks this feature, you won't see any video output at all.
It really depends on your setup. If your CPU doesn't have an integrated GPU, you're going to need a dedicated GPU to get any display. Just check your CPU specs to confirm if it supports integrated graphics.
