I'm new to this stuff so please help me.

So I have build my first PC and everything seems to be fine (every fan is spinning, green light is on in MoBo). But still somehow my monitor isn't getting signal from my PC.

I'm using DVLD cable straight from my MoBo and have tried taking my GPU off and also tried from GPU when it was installed, but still nothing seems to work.

MoBo - Asus H97-Plus
CPU - Intel i5-4440
GPU - Radeon R9 280X
PSU - Antec HCG-620W

Also one thing that I noticed was that, at the behind of the GPU box it said that it needed atleast 700 watts. So could that be the problem?
