GTX 1080 will not allow monitor to display anything

[joshuaazarchi]

I have successfully been booting and running my computer without the GPU installed. I installed the drivers for it.

However, when booted with the GPU installed, I see nothing on the monitor (aside from "no signal").

I have ensured in BIOS that the PCI-E is enabled.

This is the build I used: https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/vHD48d/great-intel-gaming-build

MSI (the manufacturer) recommended I use a 650W power supply, but the build says the 550W I have is sufficient.

Faulty cables? The GPU lights up and the fans run... I have tried other ports on the motherboard to seat the GPU...

It's been a great learning experience, but I do want to figure out how to make it work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

How are you connecting the GPU to the monitor?

What monitor do you have?

Hmm, will check when I get home, but I will definitely post. Should be noted that I have had no problems with either of my monitors at all in the past. One uses HDMI, one uses VGA.
