USB and GPU Problems

I'm building a new rig, and just assembled the parts yesterday. I have everything connected and I turn my rig on, all fans work perfectly, LEDs come on, optical and hard drives start spinning.
There are however a couple of problems, and I would want to know if they're linked or if they are two separate ones. Firstly, my DVI-out does not work, three monitors could not detect any signal. Secondly, the USB 2.0 ports on my motherboard do not work at all. Is this primarily a motherboard or GPU problem?

Specs:
Asus Formula VI RoG motherboard
Asus R9290-4GD5 GPU (AMD R9 290x)
Corsair RM850 PSU
4x4 GB G.Skill RAM

I tried cycling the RAM, and I unplugged my 8 and 6 pin PCI-E connectors from the GPU and reconnected them. Don't know what else to do really, can't access BIOS and since this is my first build in the US I don't have access to an old system I can scrounge parts off of.

Hi there,

From what you have said, I am going to go with it being a motherboard issue and not a GPU issue, you stated 'the USB 2.0 ports on my motherboard do not work at all'

So, if the front USB's aren't working as well and these connect to the motherboard then it is most likely a motherboard issue
