Do I hook up a VGA, HDMI, or DVI from the monitor to the GPU or motherboard?

I'm having issues with my first new external build. All my hardware is running but there is no post beep or signal displayed (LEDs, fans running). Which cable do I use? I already used a VGA from the monitor to the motherboard. My Windforce GTX 970 does not have a VGA slot, only 1xHDMI, 3xDisplay Port, and 2xDVI so I couldn't connect a VGA cable to it. I tried HDMI in both the motherboard and GPU but no signal displayed. I don't have a DVI cable, however. Do I need to purchase a DVI or a display port cable or no?

LEDS and fans are running. The Rosewill Hive, 212 EVO, and Windforce fans are all running fine. The only LED I have is on my GPU, which is illuminated brightly.
