so i built a new computer and when i first plugged it in to my monitor i plugged it in with hdmi from my gpu to my monitor and nothing came on the screen then i used the dvi to vga adapter that came with the card and plugged that into the monitor and it worked i then plugged in both and when i switched to hdmi it was at 1080p but the screen was stretched out so i could only see half of the task bar i also couldnt lanch any programs.so at vga i cant run games at 1080p but at hdmi i cant launch anything and the screen is really stretched out does anyone know what i can do so hdmi isn't messed up?

Looks like you need drivers. What is your GPU?

Wow, well did you try going into bios and disabling something called iGPU/IGP graphics?

Im starting to think maybe its your monitor? Are you using a TV? If so, then make sure it can produce a 1080P image

hmmmmmmmmmmm..... Dont use the adapters at all... Use the official cable, no adaptors just straight cable. I use a HDMI to DVI-I and I pug DVI-I into monitor and HDMI into GPU. Its really cheap and actuallly works high res

which cable should i get if my gpu has dvi,hdmi and display port and my monitor has vga and hdmi so that i can play games at 1080p without problems

Cables and adapters aren't the issue. It's scaling. Monitors will have their own scaling options and also check the nvidia control panel.
