It depends on the CPU and motherboard, what is your build?

Where would you plug in the monitor!

Only if the your CPU had integrated GPU, are you Intel or AMD?

5600x doesn’t have integrated GPU so you won’t be able to use it. Trawl eBay or FB Marketplace for the cheapest pci-e card you can find.

You will need to flash the bios on the motherboard for the 5600x to work.

Wouldn't OP need to make sure it has Windows 10 drivers though?

I’d be shocked if Windows 10 didn’t have a generic driver for something from AMD or Nvidia built in.
