Question Build computer help

I recently attempted to build my new computer. I've been wanting to do this for a long time, finally i can do this. It was tougher than I though it would be but i managed to assemble all the parts, here is my problem when i try to turn i on.
I see/hear the fans spin up, the hard disk spin up, light on the case, graphic card fan is running, but nothing happening on the monitor that indicate the system is working.
What could i do wrong here, can someone give a suggestion? what should i do?
I am sure its not the monitor because i am able to use it on another computer.

try reseating the graphics card and make sure all the other parts are seated corectly.
Does it beep or anything when you start it up?

Post your specs and PSU specs.

Troubleshooting:

*Make sure that you placed the standoffs correctly, and removed extra ones.
*Make sure you plugged in the 20+(4) and the 12V CPU 4pin connector.
*Make sure if required, that you plugged in the 6pin for your graphics card.
*Make sure that your memory is seated firmly.
*Make sure that you have discharged yourself before working with electonics.
*Make sure that you have seated the CPU correctly, and the CPU fan is spinning.
