Zotac gtx 1060 hdmi says no signal on monitor

So I just finished building my first pc ever and was very proud that when I turned it on and all the fans and LEDs worked. But then I went and plugged the HDMI cord into my graphics card and into the monitor and all my monitor said was blue & no signal found or something.I have a VGA cable but don't have an adaptor since both Fry's and BestBuy didn't have them in stock. I don't have a DVI-D cable which I was gonna buy tomorrow hoping maybe that would work. I'm pretty sure I did everything right so shouldn't the HDMI connection suppose to work? If anyone could help I really appreciate it and if it's something stupid I'm sorry I've never done this before.

I tested the monitor and HDMI cable by connecting it to another PC and it detects the signal. So is it the GPU? because I checked the wiring and don't see anything wrong.

Try to take the GPU out, and plug a cable like VGA or DVI into the PC itself, instead of the GPU, see if that works.
