Cable Management with Display.

[Thriliya]

Hey there! Today I've built a new rig with Ryzen 5 2600 and Gigabyte RX 580 Gaming 8G. I've a monitor from Samsung SyncMaster S19B150. The thing is I have one DVI-D port and one VGA port in my Monitor, Whereas my CPU and GPU has 1 HDMI + 1 DVI-D port for each. (I mean CPU has 1hdmi+1dvi-d and GPU too has 1hdmi+1dvi-d). So the question is how should I connect my Display with them? Should I also have to Connect my GPU with monitor? Or is it enough to connect with CPU only? Please reply!! I'm stuck there

You should connect using the best possible cable from your GPU to your monitor. Based on your monitor, this would be the DVI-D connection on the monitor, so run a DVI cable from that to the DVI-D port on your GPU and you'll be set.

So I don't need to connect it from CPU? Only Connect my Monitor to GPU via DVI-D is fine?!

Yup... you only need one input and output between your display and graphics output, so going from GPU to monitor is what you need.
