I recently finished building my new gaming rig. When I powered it up for the first time everything seemed to be tuning fine and I got a CPU temp reading on my mobo led display. I then hook my pc to my new monitor via dp cable and I got a no signal screen. Tried connecting the monitor to both the graphics card and the mobo (with and with out the graphics card hooked up) but still got nothing.
I've breadboards, rearranged ram, and clears cmos... and nothing has worked

My build is as follows
I5-7600k CPU
Msi Z170a gaming m7 mobo
16gb (2x8gb) gskill tridentZ ram
EVGA 750 bronze psi
Msi GTX 1060 6gb

Then the motherboard will have to be replaced. Depending upon where you purchased it from, you have up to 30 days to return it.

The one possibility is to reload the motherboard drivers. I doubt re-flashing the BIOS will help but you can try that as well. (I'm not sure that either can be done with this motherboard.)
With the graphics card removed the motherboard video outputs should work. The BIOS video output is defaulted to auto. So without a graphics card the motherboard video outputs are the default video output.

(Some motherboards do not support integrated graphics.)
 
Then it is most likely a PC issue. Do you have any red troubleshooting LED's on the motherboard ? Is there a LED error display on the motherboard? If not do you have access to a case speaker?

Here are two troubleshooting checklists.

Here are some bread-boarding guides? (you mentioned that you have tried this already.)

There are three major components that can give this result. Those are the motherboard, processor and memory. Without any error messages, LEDs, or beep codes, it is going to be difficult to troubleshoot.

How long do you have left on returning your components?

Here is a case speaker if you can't find one locally.
