So I had just built a new pc and the mobo was not here yet so I put my old mobo in my new case with the new GPU used my old hdd and dvd drive the pc would boot to bios and not recognize either SATA device I plugged them into the correct sata ports. Now today I did everything again but with the new mobo and ram and still have the same issue why wont my pc recognize anything I plug into the sata ports?

My new specs are a msi tomahawk b450, ryzen 2700x, 16 gb ddr4, and rtx 2080
 
Solution
Ok lets get the obvious out of the way, have you plugged both the power and SATA data cables into the SSD and disc drive?

You'd be surprised how common an error that is.
