Hey guys hope you are doing well.

I just got these parts from Amazon to build a PC and have managed to put all the components listed in my basic specs list below together... its my first time doing so and i have encountered an issue when i start up the PC at first the Memok light turns red and disappears then the CPU light turns red and disappears and then the VGA light turns red and stays that way.. I have connected the graphics card to my Sony Bravia TV via HDMI, I currently do not own a monitor since i am a console gamer and just decided to get into he world of PC gaming. also my TV says no signal

Here are my basic specs
GPU: Sapphire Radeon VAPOR-X R9 280X 3GB
MOBO: ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750G2 80PLUS Gold Certified
Processor: AMD FX - 8350
CPU cooler: Coolermaster 212 EVO
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB

Your feedback would mean a lot to me guys so please give your best input!

Sounds like video card isn't sitting right in the slot, doesn';t have proper power, etc. Have you tried removing it and putting it back in fully till it clicks.

Do you have both the 8pin and 6 pin plugged in? They are both required. I didn't know that at first and it cost me 100 in new PSU to figure it out xD
