I decided to upgrade my build over the weekend, its basically a new computer. I upgraded the motherboard, cpu, gpu and ram. I put the gpu in a few days before the rest and everything was working fine with that.
Anyway, on Sunday I sorted it all out and put everything in. Now, when I switch it on everything gets power to it, the HDD starts spinning, everything seems fine, but I get no video output whatsoever. Could this be because my PSU just can't handle it all? I'm just lost, I have no idea what's going on.

Motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
CPU: AMD FX8350 Black Edition
GPU: MSI Radeon R9 290 OC
RAM: Corsair CMX16GX3M4A1600C9 XMS3 16GB (4x4GB)
HDD: Seagate 3TB Barracuda
Disc Drive: Samsung Blu Ray drive (I can't remember exactly what model)
PSU: OCZ 500W

Thanks for any help.

Did you install the graphic driver before doing whatever you did to your comp on Sunday? And if you have more than one monitor plug in your comp case try plugging into each of them. Something like that happened to me sometime back.....My mobo has a monitor vga plug and even my graphics card has one. If you have multiple vga or dvi plugs try connecting your monitor to each of them (of course one at a time!).
