So I build my computer, but my monitor says there is no HDMI cable connect.
I've followed this guide http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems and it all seems to be in order, yet my problem remains.

I hear no beeps, but every component is running ( or at least their fans ).
I'm afraid I might not have a good psu, since my gpu ( MSI R9 280 3GB ) requires a 500 watt PSU and that's all I have, a 500watt one.

I know a lot of people have had this problem to and there are a lot of guides about it, but none of them seems to help me ( probably because I'm a newbie ).

Any help would be awesome

A good night sleep was apparently just what I needed. I disconnected the GPU and got into the BIOS, so I knew my problem was with the GPU. Then my eye fell onto the connection options for my GPU, turns out this dumb-dumb here connected his screen with his motherboard and not with his GPU. I'm really really glad that the PSU isn't the problem (yet), however my cable management is still a joke.

Thanks for all the help and sorry for wasting your time
