Issue with New Computer

So I recently built a new computer, and when inserted into the wall, the power supply begins working and some of the fans work and whatnot and the led light on the power button turns on. However, when I connected it into my new monitor via usb, the monitor was unresponsive. I then connected to an older monitor via VGA and that was also unresponsive. So I know there is an issue with the PC, I am just unsure what it is. When I check the functionality of the various USB ports by inserting a flash drive and seeing if they light up, they show up functional. So all of the USB ports are working. 3.0 and 2.0. Does anyone have any idea as to what might be the issue. This is my first build, so I am a bit clueless. Thank you.

Maybe you should try connecting the monitor with HDMI, VGA, DVI or DisplayPort

I tried connecting it to a different monitor via VGA because the other one doesn't have option for VGA. I don't think it is an issue with the connection, but rather the computer.

Try removing the gpu and insert the vga cable into the motherboard and into the monitor. Make sure the vga option for the monitor is selected

Usb isn't really a recommended video output/input port

You may have to clear Cmos after removing the GPU if you cannot get into bios.

Power Supply might caused such an effect because if this is your power supply (Rosewill 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply), it might cause power problems

No. I have a Corsair power supply

That is an outdated list.

I sorta winged the graphics card. I didn't know exactly how to plug the cords into it. So I took the 6-pin PCI-e cord from the power supply and put it in the 6 pin slot and took a 8 pin cord thingy that came with the graphics card and insert it into the 8 pin slot on the card. I know this is cringy. This is my first experience xD
