Case: Antec

I changed the ram because they had a deal going on and I know Corsair is a good brand also, Same thing with the case.

overall total build cost minus monitor, keyboard, mouse and windows: 720$

Now a couple things I do plan to get in the future are a SDD and then a blu ray disc drive and maybe a couple other cool things, but I know those two things for sure!

Thank you everybody for the help! Im sure ill be back when im trying to put the damn thing together lol! Ill be sure to post some pictures

Do you have the ps connected to the vc?

Yes and yes. Sorry i should of been more specific, but i was super tired. Im sure i missed something but i read the manual several times and couldnt figure it out.

I turned on the computer the psu fans are running the case fans are running and so is the CPU fan, the only fans not working are the VC fans which makes me believe it has something to do with it. I get no display signal signal from my monitor which I know is working, I have it hooked up through a HDMI port.

The VC is hooked up snuggly to the PCI port. I also have the power supply hooked up to it.

Did you put the standoffs under the board in the correct places? Got the 4/8 pin CPU power connector in.
