So I just ordered a pc build off amazon and built it yesterday, These are the parts:

CPU: Amd Athlon X4 860K
GPU: Amd Radeon R9 380 (XFX 2GB)
Ram: Kingston Value memory 4GB
MOBO: Gigabyte F2A68HM-H
PSU: EVGA 500W
Hard Drive: Seagate 500GB

*I'm using a micro atx case although I'm not sure about the model
*I'm using the amd stock cooler

After I've built everything together from a guide on youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP_vQMNHFCA

All the fans work, the case LED's the case power and reset buttons, the heatsink fan, the gpu fans,
looks very normal, but when I tried to plug in a VGA monitor, the screen company logo that says (Cable not Connected) on the screen would disappear, and a black screen appears instead. I plugged in a keyboard and the keyboard's lights work fine, even when I press CTRL+ALT+DEL the pc restarts, also I plugged in a mouse and it light works properly. Just to clarify I plugged the VGA through the motherboard, not the graphics card,

Please help this is my first build.

To use the iGPU (the one on the CPU) you need to unplug the graphics card so the computer isn't trying to send video through it. 

Unplug the system, press and hold the case's power button (To remove all residual power in the system), unplug the PCIe power connector, then take the GPU out.

Plug the system back in and try the vga port on the board now.

Just saw this: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2338220/amd-athlon-860k-asrock-fm2a88x-pro3.html (Look at rockie's post, 4th down) 

Athlon x4 860k does not have built in graphics. So you have to use the video outputs on the Graphics card.

I did what Brink2Three  said, still no display on the VGA port

Just wondering why you are using the motherboard vga when you have a dedicated graphic card? I would think that the bios setting would use pcie if something was plugged into it.

Then I'm sorry to say it, but you'll have to wait until you have an adapter, or a monitor that supports one of the outputs your GPU has...

Yeah I knew that, that's why I was confused at first and that the board said "onboard" I think of literally on the motherboard...

Your card didn't come with a vga to dvi adapter?
