Good afternoon,
After spending a very hot day fiddling around with the build below, I finished building my system (first ever) and came to try it for the first time. No issues to report when building it and followed a guide to the letter.

Came to try the tower using my old Monitor (Benq 2450) and realized the GPU has only HDMI input and this monitor doesn't have an HDMI slot. I tried plugging the GFX card directly in to the (DVI I Think) port found on the Mobo where the IO protector goes and that didn't do anything. Not sure if that can even be used if a GFX card is seated?
I whipped it in to the living room and tried using the HDMI from the 50"TV instead but screen was black and the TV reported no input found. Not sure if a normal TV works for this kind of thing? I'm clueless.
As far as the guide went I don't seem to have missed any cables that I can see. All fans spinning including on GFX card.
PSU is connected to Mobo (12 pin), CPU, GPU, Sata drive and all front panel cables in respective slots. Nothing left in PSU box except a 2nd CPU/GPU/Data cable and one unknown cable which the guide mentioned using for my fans but I don't think it was required.
If the system was working would it have shown up on the living room TV or the GFX card running through Mobo slot or do i need a proper HDMI PC Monitor to test?
Panicking I have done something wrong but don't want to strip the system apart again if it's a simple fix.
Help/advice would be appreciated.
