My keyboard and mouse are also plugged into the motherboard (wired) but it only turns on and the led lights and media drive work fine. I can he's it running. But I don't know how to get it to connect to anything please help

Check in the BIOS, usually under advanced settings that your graphics is selected to use the GPU. Sometimes it will use integrated graphics automatically. And obviously that is no good if you don't plug into it.
Click on the link in my signature. Follow every step, whether or not you deem it applicable.

Don't skip the breadboarding guide toward the end.

If after all of the steps in the troubleshooting guide, including the breadboarding guide, don't help, post back to this thread using the troubleshooting guide as a template to tell us what you've done and your results/observations of each step.

For example, the first question in the troubleshooting guide asks if you've carefully read through your motherboard manual, so you'd post the question from the troubleshooting guide and then answer it with your observations.
