My specs:

Motherboard: ASUS M4A78-E
CPU: AMD Phenom 2 X3 710
PS: Cooler Master extreme Plus 500w, 30amps
RAM: 7Gb

As you can see the video card has 2 sockets, but the connector EVGA sent me has 1 of that type, which it splits on 2 of the type you can see in the photo.
So I plugged the corresponding 2 wires from the power supply, then the other 1 connector/plug on the other side to 1 of the 2 sockets in the video card.

Why would it not be displaying a thing on the screen?

Thanks for your suggestion a1blaster.
I would have definitely done that if I had both the time and a store near. I don't have either :(

Thanks to "rClark250" from Tek-Tips I found a pci-e six connector being available from my power supply!
Unfortunately still nothing showed on the screen :(
I tried both molex connectors & both monitor connectors just in case, aside of thoroughly checking connections. The video-card's fan was spinning, and that message showing on the monitor' screen while the computer is off does go away when I turn it on. Confirming that there's a monitor connected. But that's about it :(
Any ideas?
