Let me add. I read a lot about BIOS not working with haswell's for a lot of motherboards. I'm hoping someone will have experience with a similar build and we'll see if thats the problem. I don't keep up with this stuff but I'm trying at the moment and asking for everyone's help.

i7Baby I am planning on meeting up with the one person I know with a computer, and I'll try some of his parts and have him look over my work. I am however comfortable that I'm either missing one major detail such as BIOS or making a tiny mistake on installation. Questions and suggestions are both welcome.

Googling and this site give me the impression my bios should work with my cpu. Which was the impression I got when I researched before ordering. I'm going to try removing the aftermarket cpu cooler tomorrow and see if it works. Otherwise I've simplied it as much as possible just to try and get it to boot.
