My GPU, the GEFORCE® GTX 1060 ARMOR 6G OC only has one slot to plug my PSU cables in to. I need to plug in my PCI-E cable and my VGA cable but there aren't any slots to do both. Plugging in only the PCI-E cable, nothing happens while plugging in the VGA cable, the fans spin but the monitor doesn't turn on. This is my first build, so sorry if it's a stupid question.

You are mixing up some terms, the VGA cable and the PCIe power cable are totally separate things. The VGA cable goes to your monitor the PCIe power cable goes from the power supply to the card. They don't connect in the same spot and are actually on totally opposite side of the video card. Not only that, the card you have does not look to have any VGA connections at all, only HDMI, DisplayPort and DVI.
From what I see about that MSI 1060 model, it has a single 8 pin power connector.
What is your power supply brand and model?
