Hey everybody, I've been working on a build for the last 2 days. It's my first build, so I have been VERY excited to get it all together. The build is as follows:

CPU..... Intel i5-4460
MOBO.. MSI z97s SLI Krait
GPU..... Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 4GB G1 Gaming
RAM..... Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3- 1866 2X8GB
SSD..... Samsung 850EVO 250GB
HDD..... Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200 rpm
PSU..... EVGA Supernova GS 650W 80+ Gold
CASE... CM Storm Trooper

So anyways, after getting it all together in the case, I powered it on, and there are lights, fans spin, looks great. But no beeps... And no video output. I continued my search and found this thread and followed the directions. Now it wouldn't boot at all... Please help, I don't want a $1200 ornament.

There could be a serious problem, but don't be discouraged yet. I frequently have systems fail to boot the first time I put everything together. There are a lot of little things that can cause problems. Spend some time carefully checking all of your connections. Make sure everything is firmly in place. Make sure your RAM is pushed all the way in-if you need try to get things working with just one stick. Make sure you have no loose pieces floating around or under your motherboard.
Most likely you've not pushed in a connector hard enough or forgotten one. It happens to even very careful people.
