I finished my build and was so pumped to get it up an running, so I hooked it up and pushed the power button and all the fans were spinning had a bunch of flashy lights but nothing showed up on the screen. I had a look inside the case and found that the graphics card wasn't working. I tried turning it off but pushing the button wouldn't so i just flicked the power switch on the power supply. I had a look at a look at the graphics card put it into a different slot and turned the PC back on again it did the same thing. so I watched a video and the person in it only plugged in one pcie power cord into the graphics card (the video was showing a different graphics card) so I tried that plugged pushed the button on the case and nothing happened at all. I suspect it's a power supply issue but I really don't know.
here are the specs if that matters

Have you plugged the PCIe power cable(s) into your graphics card?

Fault Diagnostic Testing is needed

Basically Unplug HDD, CD Rom and Remove 1 ram chip so your at the minimum to run the Computer
Does the Motherboard Beep at you with anything other than 1 beep ?
(May need to plug in a speaker to hear beeps if MB dont have a speaker built in - Check Manual)
Test both Ram chips individually
If still no Display of beeps - painful as it is refit the CPU

Best of luck

If still no joy or beep possible MB Fault

Your build looks fine, make sure you have the GPU installed on the top PCI-E slot with PCI-E power plugged into all the ports on the GPU and that your display is turned on along with the right display input.
