UPDATE 2 (4:45pm CET):
So now other issues arise.
1. I am having issues getting a signal from the computer (Integrated or GPU) to the monitor. I have to restart a few times for the signal to work. Tried HDMI and DVI cables, same issue.
2. Then once on the BIOS if I stay there for a while it tends to just freeze prompting me to have to restart and deal with the signal issues. PICTURE
Then after a few times of restarting to get signal this happens. PICTURE
I get a few pixels on the screen and nothing else.
Here is a picture of the Board Explorer from the BIOS so you can see that the motherboard/BIOS detects the components. PICTURE
UPDATE 1:
So today I removed the GPU and tried using the integrated graphics on the motherboard and after fighting with the vga to motherboard connection I managed to get into the BIOS.
From this PICTURE you can see that it detects the CPU, RAM, etc. It also recognizes the SSD and HDD.
I don't know if the GPU is defective or not because the fans start on power on but stop right away. Maybe it is just my vga cable so I will try an hdmi to vga cable from the GPU to my current monitor and see what happens.
First of all, thanks in advance for the help.
So I bought all the components for a brand new PC using different sources like PCPartPicker (which said these all where compatible with each other) and Youtube build videos.
Here are the components that I bought and put together today:
I thought I was well versed on this but apparently not, so any help is appreciated.
