This is my first build that i completed after 7 hours.
I made sure i did everything perfectly watching different instructional videos. The computer turns on with lights and all fans including CPU GPU and case are working, but my monitor shows no display. Monitor is fully functional.

I dont know where i went wrong, please check out the pictures to see how my MB looks, maybe you can pot something out.




I firmly pluged in the 8 pin CPU into the ATX12V1
the 24pin into the ATXPWR
all the reset, power, led + - are in correct order, most likely (if they werent, wouldnt my power button and lights not work)
My CPU fan is firmly pluged in and cpu is sitting snug.
I'm preety sure the GPU is sitting tightly, i dont want to push any harder to bend the MB

Also, i tried switching the slots for my 8gb ram, same result.

Please help me because i can't take it anymore, here is my build:

Your graphics card is the problem. If there is "NO" display what so ever then its a problem. Since you have an intel cpu I recommend taking out the graphics card and plug the vga/hdmi/dvi whatever into the motherboard.
