Cpu has integrated graphics so should post without dgpu. Dgpu led doesn't necessarily mean an error, just it hasn't detected one. The boot drive led might be the reason though. Try boot without it and try in 2nd m2 slot.

Check monitor too, plug connection, correct input channel and try another cable.

You do own 10600k, not 10600kf version? F model doesn't have igpu.

If you get any kind of display than that is coming from your igpu since you don't have anything else.
It should be able to get into windows at which time it will search and install drivers for the igpu and give you better graphics.

Unfortunatelly im not getting any display...
It gets the Green POST Qled but nothing on the display, after that the white VGA led appears and stays on... im not sure what to do since i dont have any gpu, i was sure that i could POST without one...

So after almost 2hours of troubleshoting i found the culprit, i was using the DP port so i tried the HDMI one and it posted to bios! Aparently you cant use the DP port on First Time Boot... anyway thanks everyone for the help!
