So i just buy a new computer components i choose them myself, after finishing my build, i try my computer first run, and my first run was really bad :( on the windows starting screen it stuck at half, its a gigabyte G1 sniper b6 with b85 chipset driver, and my vga is asus GTX 960 Turbo my monitor is Acer about 18 or 19 inch but i sure the max resolution is 1366x768,i dont know whats wrong with my build but when i try to enter the bios with my vga plugged the monitor says input not supported, so i unplugged my vga try the onboard and i can get in to the bios but still stuck and windows starting screen [where 4 balls spinning around making a windows logo with 4 different color] it stuck at half but that i really afraid here is why my vga cant enter the bios while the onboard vga of the mobo can? are there any solution for me i am afraid i need to change to other components again
but heres my full specification

Motherboard : Gigabyte G1 Sniper B6 Lga 1150 intelchipsetB85 also this mobo has dual bios
Processore : Intel core i3-4150
VGA : Asus Gtx 960 turbo 2gddr5
Ram : 4x2 Corsair vengeance
Power supply : corsair vs650
My monitor : Acer x193hq the max resolution is 1366x768
to make sure that my windows is windows 7 32 bit because all of the hardware that not new is the harddisk, also when i try to insert windows 7 installation disk it cant be readed are this is an dead end ?
i have try to plugged it to my tv with hdmi but it stays the same while on my monitor using vga and dvi to vga
 
Solution
It sounds like you need to re-install windows.

Did you just get new components and put them together with an old hard disk that already had windows on it?

If so.. you will need to re-install windows.

In your BIOS is there a setting for which graphics is seen as first? You probably have this set to onboard.. try setting this to PCIe instead and try your graphics card then.

Solution
pull the new gpu...with onboard video make sure the mb has the newest bios file and ram is set to xmp profile. use f8 key if you can get into safe mode..go into windows device manager and remove all of the devices. video drivers software and anti virus. run msconfig..turn everything off under the start up tab. if you cant if you have your windows 7 key from another pc download the newest windows 10 iso to a 8g usb stick and upgrade to windows 10.

yeah ill try reinstalling windows, in bios there are 4 settings IGFX,PciE 1,PciE 2, and PCI all of it have i tried but none of that work, still input not supported, also pressing F8 do nothing i cant boot into safe mode. ill try both win 7 and 10 and see which one will work, i ask my friend and he said that the vga is not compatible with the motherboard are he right ?

No reason I can see why that GPU shouldn't work with your motherboard. I think the advice to remove the 960 from the computer and reinstall windows using the onboard graphics is pretty sound. If you've meddled with any settings in your BIOS you should reset everything to default.

If you can get into windows using the onboard graphics no problem then run a few stress tests i.e. Prime95 just to make sure that everything else is working. At this point install the 960GTX and plug the monitor lead into the card, if you get no display then you may have a faulty card. Try it in the 2nd PCI-e slot to rule that out as the problem.

You shouldn't need to specify the primary display in the BIOS it should automatically select the discrete GPU if you've inserted it correctly and plugged the monitor into the card.

One more thing to note, make sure you've correctly connected all additional power cables to the motherboard/GPU. Quite frequently people will note notice the additional power connectors on the motherboard and GPU.
