Connect your monitor to the graphics card and set up drivers after installing the operating system.

Just like setting up a PC with built-in graphics, you start by booting it and installing the operating system. Then you add the drivers for your GPU or integrated graphics card. As long as the card works with the standard drivers for Windows or Linux, you should be able to see something.

Sure, I understand. It's been a bit confusing gathering parts for my project, but it's finally wrapping up after two years.

The driver will be set up automatically at startup, with Windows handling it. Once installed, you only need to add the right driver manually. Don't worry if your GPU isn't compatible, such as an outdated AGP card.
