I need help with this.

Let me give you a quick rundown of my setup:

Motherboard: Asus Z87-A ATX LGA1150
Processor: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB
Operating System: Windows 8.1 Pro

Got it all installed but when I put in my video card....nothing. The fans blow but it doesn't come up as new hardware and when I try to install the drivers it says I have no graphics card for the drivers. I'm seeking help in solving this problem.

Thanks in advance.

the computer must be turned off when you insert the card, then you have to give the card the power need by plugging the pciexpress power connector in the front on the card...after that you plug your monitor into the card and you turn on your computer...
once in windows you go to nvidia website and download the latest nvidia driver for your card, you install that and reboot...

Therein lies the problem. When I plugged my monitor into the card and turned on the computer, nothing.

if you have integrated graphics solution on your motherboard you may have to go in the bios and tell the computer to use the discrete graphics on PCIEx 16x...hit del to enter setup when powering the machine

I set it for PCI-E in the BIOS. Still stuck on a blank screen.

I've got the 8-pin and 6-pin plugged in.
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX
Sadly, the motherboard did not come with an onboard speaker and the one I ordered has not yet come in.

On a side note, I really appreciate all of your help.
