If you don't want to deal with the used market (which might be necessary to get super cheap) the Intel Arc a310 cards have HDMI/Display Port and are slot powered so no PCIe power needed. They're also sought after for their quite good video transcoding performance so reselling it after you're done would be pretty easy.
Another option is if the machine has a serial port that might be dumping useful info as it boots. A serial to USB cable is really cheap and you can read it with PuTTY.
Would be nice, but the motherboard (GA-X99-UD4) is a desktop board with no serial out.
This is the way.... Setup and then open a terminal and then boot the machine... Helps to have console output logged on the host machine so you can review everything after... Some boot sequences can be tens of thousands of lines long on complex machines.
