Here is the support page for that PC

Most likely the wrong HDMI port is being used. The spec page lists a GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card is installed. Assuming there to be a HDMI port on that card, use that. The HDMI port that is located with the USB and network ports is disabled when a graphics card is installed. Click on the Back I/0 ports section on the spec page I linked to see the picture of the motherboard ports. #3 of that picture shows the HDMI port that is NOT active.

when i took the tower out of the box, i noticed 2 plastic parts in the hdmi port and display port. Is that suppose to mean anything or just protection? Also if i unscrew the bolts, would it void the warranty?

I suggest you actually look at the support page I posted and look at the Back I/O section as I already posted. First, do not unscrew any bolts. Assuming the plastic parts are on the ports in the section I am addressing, then they are meant to block those ports. In other words - those ports are not active. Use the ports on the graphics card.

That has a fairly nice graphics card already. What did you have in mind?
