I need help for my new pc build

[Hugthepug123]

I'm new to pc build and i want to be sure that im ok with all the parts that i have. Tough i'm not sure about the hdmi cables , i don't know how much i need, i know the gpu requires one and the monitor too. so do i need two of them cause there's an output on the motherboard.

Thank you

If you are using a GPU you will NOT connect the motherboard's HDMI plug. You can ignore any video plugs on the motherboard as they will no longer be needed when you have a GPU.

on the monitor cables look at the photos and sales info on what cables are in the box. some times it just the power cable,some time it a vga or dvi cable. look online at the spec of dvi vs hdmi and other video cables depending on your monitor you may want to use a direct port video cable over dvi or hdmi. on the back of the mb the video ports can be used if your setting up a pc with a lot of monitors to do work over a lot of monitors at the same time. most time if your gaming your going to use the main gpu for output. back of the mb will be your usb and sound card outputs. one or two ethernet ports. inside the pc you need one sata data cable for each drive. most mb toss in one or two short sata data cables for you. the power cables are on the power supply. make sure you pick up some electrical mixed sized plastic tye wraps. for wire management. you dont want a fan wire to get sucked into the gpu or cpu fan and be cut or break a fan. power supply will come with it power cable. the case have the cases for the front ports and fans and a screw kit. may want to pick up a tube of thernal paste just in case you need it.

So if i understood , i have a gpu so i do not use the hdmi output on the motherboard but i use the one on the gpu but where do i plug it ?

the mb will have a slot near the cpu chip with a latch on it. this is the first video slot that the card slides into and locks in. then plug in the power cables needed for the gpu. on the mb there be two power plugs a 24 pin and an 8/4 pin power connector on the edge of the mb that needs to be connected.
