I'm building a budget PC to have in addition to my main PC, but it doesn't output any display even after testing every output available (including the MB).
The parts: 

  •  Old Dell case
  • MB: MSI A88XM-E35V2 (new)

  • CPU: AMD A4 7300 Dual-core @3.8GHz (new)

  • PSU: HKC USP-3430 430W (used)

  • HDD: Some Seagate 1TB (used, but working)

  • RAM: Some kingston 2*4GB kit (used, but working)

  • GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 2GB ITX (used, but working)

 

What I've tried:

  • Swapping the GTX960 with one of my MSI GTX 980
  • Swapping the RAM with a 16GB kit from my main PC
  • Swapping the PSU with a Corsair HX1050 
  • Booting without the graphics card
  • Booting without a storage device

I feel like I've tried everything, so any help is much appreciated.

Had a similar problem two years ago on my old budget pc. (i think it was a fx-4350 and a radeon r7 200 series.) 

 

Try to remove the RAM, clean the RAM and socket from dust, and put in again. 

 

Worked for me multiple times. 

Yes, the username is cringe.

I tried your advice, but without luck. All the fans start spinning and the HDD is making noise, but there's still no display signal.
