I bought everything from Fry's
They installed the processor and memory and tested the board.
I brought everything home and installed the rest.
Turning it on the first time, everything pulsed; fans, heat sink, case lights.

After reading http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-boot-video-problems , i noticed that i did not connect the 4 pin processor power.
I shut it down and installed and now the motherboard light comes on, the graphic card lights come on and that is it. I disconnect the power to the processor and it pulses.

I have tried a single stick of ram in each slot, I have no misplaced standoffs, I've moved the graphic card to another slot....nothing. I also have a speaker installed and there are no beeps.

Please help!!!!

No beeps without ram and/or GPU? If so motherboard, if not try the breadboarding linked to in the guide you went through.
Did you hook up external power from PSU to the GPU?

No beeps without RAM. No beeps without GPU. I hooked up to GPU in both 6 pin connections using the power supply. I will try bread boarding tonight.

I'm an idiot....
The motherboard arrived with the 8 pin CPU power plug having 2 pins covered with a plastic cap. I (assumed) that the plug for that was the 6 pin 2 pin plug part from the power source...it was not.
I corrected it with the 4 pin-4pin plug and voila....happy me.
