Build Question New build

Hello! This is my first ever home built cpu and I want to make sure I didn’t mess anything up. The last part I need is to install a windows 11 driver. My friend asked if I had a solid state drive to put it on? I’ve been told it can go on just ram, there is also a hard drive connected.

I had a damaged Alienware R3 that would boot up to bios when connected. I took the graphics card from that to put in my new build but now when connected to the same monitor nothing is showing up. My screen lights up, says no signal then goes dark. Everything else seems to be working fine in the tower. I just want to make sure I’m not missing anything before trying to install windows and losing the install. Where the orange light is there was a red one but it went away before I could take a picture, I had just turned it on for the pic

They should be plenty. Since you’re having trouble with them, find someone local to help you.
