Ok, recently I tried to put together a new rig. So I did. As far as I see everything is plugged in.
All I got left over is a perif cable which I don't know what to do with
I first tested the motherboard on the box and listening to a new egg video on how to boot it without a case I put my keys in random holes where it looked like things can be plugged in on the mb.
So iginoring it, I put the build in the case and tried turning it on by the cases button, still didn't work. What could I have done wrong? Could I have broke something by ESD? I handled everything with care, the motherboard was the only part that I touched where there wasn't plastic etc so everything else such as the CPU or video card I touched by edges or fin/ edges
Could I have been shipped a dead motherboard? If so what do I do to get a new one, I have all boxes and etc still in perfect condition .
My build goes as follows:
I7 4770k
x2 8gb 1866 ram
MSI z87-g45 motherboard
4 GB gigabyte 770 oc edition
Corsair 200r
Toshiba 256 GB ssd
I was standing on a rug the whole time with socks, is that bad?
I feel this would be easier for me unless its simple to explain, to have a call on Skype so visually you can see what's going on
My Skype is: nightmaregames.13
I'll be on from 2:30 pm to 9 pm east coast united states time
Thanks for any feedback, I need it

you need to see if the power button is in the right spot or nothing will ever happen.I tried flipping the switch but it didn't make a difference, I have no idea whether "O" is on or "l" is so I tried both
the I should be down. As in the O should be on the side thats lifted

Make sure all necessary power cables are plugged in. I had a buddy of mine forget to plug in the 4/8 pin connector for the CPU power, and he called me up to look at it for him. At first I thought it was a grounding issue because he only had a few motherboard standoffs installed, so we fixed that but the issue persisted. Then upon further inspection I noticed that the 4/8 pin power cable coming from the power supply was not plugged in. We plugged it in and the computer fired right up. lol.
Your motherboard manual has step by step instructions in it. Just use that guide and go back through step by step. Pay particular attention to the front panel connector jumpers. These are used for your power/reset button on your case and are plugged into the motherboard in order to trigger power on/reset when pressed. Hope this helps.

Could you take a photo of the motherboard in the case showing the connected cables etc?Basic things I always check when this happens.
Is the power cable of the case connected to the right pins.
Is the PSU power button at the back on.
Is the PSU power cable connected properly and has power.
Heres on I'm taking more:

if you look at this
http://content.hwigroup.net/images/products/xl/186948/m...
On the left of the photo at the bottom of the first PCI slot to the left. Theres a jfp1 and jfp2 connector. It has text there saying Power, HD led, reset etc.
Those don't seem to have any cables connected to it in your photo
If thats not connected then the power button on the case isn't connected to the motherboard. So nothing will happen.

plugged it into what vga, the motherboard or the video card?Motherboard vga
well that won't work if you have a video card in. No wonder you get no picture. lol. If you have the video card, the onboard is disabled and you have to plug into the video card, or remove the video card and plug into the motherboard. can't be both.
