Hi there everybody!

So as the title says - this is my 1st time building a PC myself. I've got a list of the specs in images you'll be able to see down below. However after putting it all together. Nearly everything works except for and probably a major thing my GPU. It doesn't turn my monitor on, the fans never spun and there's this light on my motherboard kept shining VGA in orange. I was wondering If anybody has an idea of how I could've gone wrong? I've got no pictures taken of the built because I took it all apart several times and got exhausted. I'm still able to provide with whatever info necessary.
Tried potential solutions: Different monitor, different GPU, checked all cables/unplugged/replugged. tried different RAM slots. clearing CMOS battery.
Both GPU fans wouldn't spin/kept showing VGA led error on the motherboard

I'd double check all the power connectors are firmly seated, for the graphics card and the motherboard/CPU.

Does your motherboard have a second full length PCI-E slot?

You could consider a BIOS flash, though I'd probably do that as a last resort.

I double and even triple checked all the power connectors.

Yes, there is at the very bottom. however I cannot physically fit the GPU there.

And BIOS flash ? no idea what that is.
