Hi,
I am a computer noob. I wanted to build a decent gaming computer so I referenced some advices for my build (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2KiRt0JF7A). So I followed almost exact same build as the video shows EXCEPT I purchased GA-H97M-D3H instead of GA-H97-D3H because I'm a dumb blind. When I finished assembling the build, the computer boots (fan runs) and after 5 sec or so, it dies and reboots and it repeats infinitely. And when I disconnect the power for the graphics card, it boots okay. I can see Gigabyte logo and have access to the BIOS. But the trouble happens when I connect the graphics card. I don't know if the wrong motherboard is causing the problem, but this is very frustrating. Can anyone help me out here?

Build:
CPU-Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
RAM-G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
GPU-Gigabyte Radeon R9 280 3GB
Motherboard-Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H
Storage-Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
Case-Antec Three Hundred Two
DVD Drive- Black SATA 24X DVD Burner
PSU-SeaSonic S12II 620W
