Try plugging the GPU into the other PCIE slot. Make sure power is connected to the GPU as well. Also if possible, try the GPU in a different computer and see if it is recognized there. It could be possible that the GPU or mobo is dead on arrival. Make sure the video cables are plugged into the GPU and not the mobo. Try a different PCIE power cable as well if the PSU came with different ones

Thumbs up to try and checking GPU power. If you do have the power connected, then try putting the card into another PCIE 2.0 slot.

Unfortunately that is what it sounds like as well. You could try plugging the GPU into a different computer and seeing if it works there, but I don't think it will. Sorry mate. Best of luck though
