Do you know what CPU you have in it?
It should be okay to plug in if it has a integrated graphics card. Then it will show something on your screen. If it doesn't have the integrated GPU, then you would need one.

You do need a storage though, or else you can't run any operating system. So try to install storage and WIndows (or any other OS) on it first.

So it wont display until i get a gpu for it

Yes. Also quote people so they see your replies. Still with a gpu it won't be usable as all you can do is go into the bios or maybe run linux off of a usb stick. A cheap 120gb ssd like a wd blue or mx500 is like 22$ so maybe get that. Don't recommend such small drives and that you at least get a 250gb one for 5-8$ more but you'd at least be able to install windows.

If all the cables required by the motherboard are plugged in correctly, which is a simple youtube video to check, then you’re fine.

 

If it was plugged in incorrectly, then installing the missing pieces wouldn’t help

Will a gtx 660 super clocked work and ill get a cheap hdd 

please do not boot off a cheap hdd with a ryzen 7 3700x (I mean you technically can). If you are on a low budget, first get a small ssd, and you can get the hard drive later when the ssd starts filling up.
