The build is complete, fans turn on, mobo, cd drive works, and the tv even sees the hdmi connection but says no signal when I switch to it..

Is your HDMI cable plugged into the GPU and not the motherboard?

It is plugged into the motherboard HDMI port. I'm not sure if the mobo doesn't put out a video signal until the BIOS starts but the computer will still respond to keystrokes to start it up.

Assuming you have a video card, that is your problem. The motherboard HDMI port is for the CPU's onboard graphics, which are automatically disabled when a video card is detected. Plug the cable into the GPU and you should be good to go.

Don't worry I did the exact same thing, along with forgetting the cpu header, did that again when I rewired it :lol:
