32 years a Mac user, today I built a PC

[mxsailor]

Budget (including currency): 

Country: Mexico

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Unreal Engine, Adobe Cloud, variety of 3D apps. 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Asus x570 TUF Gaming w/wifi, Corsair 550W PSU, Ryzen 7 3700x, Corsair Carbide 175R mid-tower, AMD Nitro Sapphire RX590, 32 GB Corsair 3200 RAM, 2 EA 1 TB M2, Asus 1024 Monitor, Viotek 34" 1440x3440 curved Monitor.

Upgrading from 2013 Mac Pro that I bought new in 2013. 12 core, D300s, eGPU, 1 TB M.2

 

Now that the build is up and running.. (I'm guessing here, because I have no video output), what's the best way to 1. get my monitor working, 2. install Windows? (I have a Pro license that I've been using in Boot Camp on my 2013 Trash Can).

Is the monitor plugged into the GPU or the motherboard? It must be the GPU for this application.

the parts are fully compatible so assuming nothing is broken, let's examine what might have gone wrong in the build.

 

@svmlegacymentioned a very common problem, only the GPU will have video output and nothing will come off the motherboard. Also, can you copy/paste a picture of the inside of the case in the original post? There might be something obvious we can help with.

Be sure to plug your display cables into the ports on your graphics card, not the motherboard. Also, be sure that the GPU is properly seated inside your case and that the GPU has all the power cables plugged in.

I've only successfully transferred a Windows 10 license once. You can try this guide too see if it works for you: https://techwiser.com/transfer-windows-10-license/#:~:text=Transfer Windows 10 License to New Computer 1,the current computer. ... 3 Install Windows 10

 

First though, you'll need to create a bootable USB to install Windows. You can do this with another computer:
