Hello all. This is my first ever computer build, I actually had a friend help me. I just installed the CD drive today (which I was waiting forever to get.) Anyways. Everything is installed and running but once I hooked my monitor up to the mobo (it would only fit there) there was no video. I have no idea what could be the cause of this. I am hoping someone has some ideas for me.

Here is my entire parts list:
SAMSUNG 840 Series MZ-7TD120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Intel Core i5-4670 Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I54670

EVGA 02G-P4-2761-KR GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card

GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD3H LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model

Rosewill HIVE Series HIVE-650 650W Continuous @40°C, 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified, Modular Design, Single +12V Rail

I don't know if this helps. but I am quite confused at why there is no video...
 
Solution
You have a video card, you have to use that for your video, not the motherboard. Most onboard video on the motherboards get disabled once a video card is plugged in.

what type of connection do you ahve on your monitor that makes its not fit on the video card and only on the motherboard? your video card should have come with an dvi-vga adapter.

The one on the video card is thin and longer and the one for my monitor is fat and short... Now that you say it should go into the video card I am going to look and see if there is a connector that came with it...
