Hi, so this is my first build and I have been running into some problems. Whenever I try to get the system to post it will only do so when no storage device is connected.

I have an:
Asus z170-a mobo
Western Digital 1tb hard drive
Mushkin 512 gb enhanced eco2 ssd
Intel i5 6600k
8 gb crucial ballistic sport lt (was 16 but one of the sticks was bad)
Evo 212 cooler
Gigabyte GTX 1070 (that isn't installed yet because I wanted to see if it would post before that)

I have already tried the drives one at a time, replaced Sata cables and shorted the jumpers to clear cmos. I am really at a lose of what I can try next.
