First PC build troubleshooting

[alenar12]

I have recently put together my first pc build, and it is really frustrating and I have had numerous problems.

PC- Specs
Apevia X-Gear ATXB5KLW-BK - Mid tower - ATX
ASrock M3A770DE Amd motherboard
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Processor
Corsair XMS3 8 GB (2 x 4GB) Memory
Cooler Master RR-910-HTX3-G1 130-Watt 92mm Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler
Cooler Master Elite 460W ATX +12V V2.31 SATA, PCI-E Power Supply
MSI nVidia GeForce GT 520 1 GB DDR3 VGA/DVI/HDMI Low Profile PCI-Express Video Card N520GT
Dvd RW drive don't know brand
1Tb hardrive don't remember brand

I assembled everything to the best of my knowledge, and with the first boot I got nothing. I read the manual and put the front panel connectors in properly. After that I managed to get it to boot but to do so I unplugged the +4 from the 24 pin psu plug and got it to but all the fans spin cpu fan, fans on the Case psu fan the video card fan. Everything seems like it's getting a good voltage and what not. Except when i plug in the VGA cable my monitor will not get a signal. I tried reseting the CMOS by removing the battery from the motherboard and still have no luck I've run the VideoCard on another computer with an intel motherboard for the record with no problems. I've put in a fair amoun't of cash for my first build. So i really wanna get it running. Hopefully someone in the Tech community can help me because this blows.
