I started up my computer, (I built it) and it lights up, and everything, but does not display on the monitor. There are extra cables, labeled PCIE, and a few others. I do not know where to connect them.

(Motherboard) Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P ATX AM3+/AM3 Motherboard

(Memory) Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

(Storage) Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

If your video card is unplugged, make sure it is powered up. That PCIE cable plugs into the GTX 750
Also make sure the HDM,I/VGA/DVI or whatever is connected the the GTX card, and not your motherboard ports, as they will become disabled when it turns on.

Well, I don't see anywhere to plug the PCIE. I am using the HDMI port in my computer and in my pc (graphics card) but that won't display. Would a VGA to DVI adapter work? My graphics card has a DVI and my monitor has a VGA.

That won't fix it. Try disconnecting the 750 and plug your hdmi into the motherboard. Then install drivers once it is setup, and reattach.

There isn't an hdmi port on my motherboard, and my graphics card is a 750ti not a 750.
