Got all of my parts yesterday and assembled them, no post or beeps.

MIS 970A-G43 Mobo
Crucial PC3-1600 8 GBs
AMD FX-6300 w/ Hyper 212 evo cooler
Corsair CD 430M PSU
Gigabyte R9 270 Radeon 2GBs w/ Windforce 2x

I read the sticky about what to check before posting this.
The CPU 12V 8-pin is connected, firm and placed.
The standers are tight on the motherboard with the provided plate under the moon.

The Evo cooler was tricky to place on.
I tried booting with and without the stick of ram, and with either I heard no beeps.

The CPU fan turns on as well as the case fans, and gpu fans took a few secs to start after the CPU fan turned on.

I picked up another mobo today and tested that out, still no signal to my monitor (Acer widescreen LCD).

I have no onboard gpu.

I tried plugging only the power connectors, still no signal or any beeps.

I might try the stock cooler since I'm running out of ideas.
All of these parts are new.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK first make sure that your monitor is set to the correct input. I have seen that alot where there was no video and it came down to the monitor defaulting to VGA input and the customer was using another input like DVI DisplayPort HDMI. While most monitors auto sense what input is used not all do this and you have to push a button on the monitor to select the correct one.

Also does your motherboard have a onboard Speaker alot of them do not anymore. Infact the Asus I got did not and did not come with one. Without that you would not hear the beep codes even if the board was trying to give you one.

You did plug the PCI-E PEG connectors into the GPU correct? According to Gigabyte that GPU needs 500w PSU so I am unsure if the 430w PSU...

You noted that the 8pin power connector was inplace but you did not state if you had connected the 20+4 connector also. Double check all of the power connectors including the two PEG connectors going to the GPU.
Next step I would take would be to disconnect everything from the motherboard but the Power connectors and the memory/GPU. Then do a BIOS reset from either the jumper or pulling the battery. Then try to power on with just what you need to get the motherboard to start at least to the BIOS. If you can get that far start adding the HDD/SSD's and such back on the computer one at a time and see if you can still boot.

As it turned out, one of the PCI-E Connectors was loose, thus the fans wouldn't start nor the card.
