Did I get mismatched components?

I thought I was being really careful on this budget build. I got...

Core i3 10100F
Asrock H47M-HDV board
G.Skill DDR4-2800 8Gx2

Did all the regular re-seating and all that but still don't get any display at all. I don't have any way of testing components, so if you spot any incompatibilities that I missed in my product choice I'd appreciate it if you could point it out. Thanks everyone.

You purchased the wrong processor. The i3-10100F has no integrated graphics, you needed the i3-10100. With the "F" variant you need a dedicated Nvidia or AMD video card.

Yeah, the "F SKU" Intel processors, lack a working iGPU, so you need to install a discrete GPU (AMD, NV, and soon, Intel) into the PCI-E x16 slot (generally the top-most slot, though not always, sometimes they stick a PCI-E x1 above it for a wifi card or something.)
