Hello fellow Tom's Hardware community I recently attempted to build my own pc and my build is http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2vMXx and i went to my motherboard Bios to make it use the pci-e slot but i looked at it and it was blank as if nothing was there and i was wondering if anyone knew why and how to fix this problem i tried to plug my vga monitor cable into the graphics card slots but then my monitor would not turn on. Is it possibly because my power supply is only 430? What am i doing wrong? Thanks for the help in advance, and sorry for the wall of text description.

the PSU only has 1 6 pin connector and your graphics card requires 2x 6 pin connectors.

You will need to buy a molex to 6 pin adapter if you don't already have one, but other than that your power supply can run that card fine.
