1060 has no HDMI port

I'm not sure if it was installed incorrectly when I brought the prebuilt, but it's a 1060 3g. I figured it would have an HDMI port, but it doesn't. This could just be due to the fact that it's an older 1060 3g? Or should all 1060's have HDMI port? It seems to ONLY be DVA, and I'm questioning if it was just put in wrong for my prebuilt, or that's the way it's supposed to be.

Never seen a 1060 (Or any modern desktop GPU) without HDMI.

Make sure the ports aren't covert with a little plastic plug.

Yup, my dumbass thought the plastic plugs were apart of the system. I would've never figured it out, thanks!

Also, should you add everything to run on the GPU? Or should I only make it so games can only run it? Sorry if I'm asking a lot, I'm not too used to this PC stuff.

Everything runs on the GPU. Simply connect your monitor to the GPU and everything will run on it.

All of the data that goes to your screen come from the GPU. It's not like a laptop that will use the CPU integrated graphics to save power then turn on the GPU while gaming. Although there are ways to do that, there's really no benefit on a desktop. Your 1060 will be perfectly happy running all of your graphics.
