    New build no signal from monitor.

    Yeah Ibe ordered a speaker as my computer didn't come with one, so that should be here in a week. Really, I don't see anything I could have done wrong here, and I've tried most everything on your list, but still, nothing. It's really disheartening to see that there's really nothing i can do but...

    New build no signal from monitor.

    No, I can't even get to bios. It hasn't even gone to POST (as far as I can tell). I just get a screen with "no signal". That's it. LEDs and fans work fine

    Hello I'm rather new at this Help please.

    Well, a few things. 1. Why do you need 200g of thermal paste? 2. Why do you need 2 sound cards? Also, you might not even need a sound card at all, as most motherboards do the job well. 3. Your graphics card is very outdated and might bottleneck the cpu. I recommend the gtx 770...

    How is this build (CAN)

    Can I run this on a 500w power supply?

    It's always better to have at least 600w of power when running something like that, so if I were you I would spend the extra cash for that. But I think that it COULD run it, but it's better to have too much than too little.
