New Build not outputting Video

So my friend recently built his first PC and when he goes to turn it on, all the fans spin and the case lights turn on so everything seems fine, but the monitor doesn’t direct any signals coming through. his monitor works perfectly fine on other things like his Xbox and it detects that he has an HDMI cable physically plugged into his PC, but then it says “No Input Signal”. It’s not his graphics card because he took it out and everything does the same thing. i told him to take out the battery on his motherboard to flash the bios but the same thing happens. the CPU is in correctly and has sufficient thermal paste. I honestly have absolutely no clue at this point and neither do at least 4 of my friends that are pretty good with PC’s. Any help?

What are the specs of the new PC?

 

Is the cable plugged into the GPU or the motherboard?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pqcFhy  Its not as simple as that as i know a fair bit about pcs and that was the first thing i asked him. The cable was plugged into the gpu at first but it wasnt displaying anything when booting so i told him to take the gpu out and plug the hdmi cable into the motherboard to see if it would display from the igpu but it still didnt. When he turns it on it starts up then restarts and keeps repeating the process so i made him to check the front panel connecters to make sure they were in the correct place and they were.

Is the RAM fully seated into the slots? Ask him to remove them and put them back in. There's an audible click
