New rig not working

Hi, after having my new rig up and running, I then decided to install my h55 watercooler, to do this I had to swap my graphics card and wireless card slot, I installed the h55 but when I turned on the comp I got nothing on the screen and then after about 30 secs the comp just restarted, so a thought maybe the h55 wasn't tight enough on the processor and it was overheating so I decided to take it all off and put it back the way it was, now though when I turned it on it was repeatedly restarting, so I removed all my ram bar one stick and then turned it on, I still got nothing on my monitor and when I have all my ram in it continually restarts, all my fans are working, my CPU fan, case fan, and hard drive fan also my graphics card fans are spinning and the power light on it is green, my audio boost light is also on, on my mb, anyone any ideas?
 
My specs are

I7 4770k
Msi z87-g45
16bg of corsair vengeance 2133mhz
Octane sata2.0 128gb ssd
2tb seagate barracuda
Asus gtx 660 2gb ddr5 directu11
Aerocool 800w psu
 
My graphics card is in the fist slot, closest to the CPU, this is the same slot it was in before when all was working well
 
Also,it still restarts itself after the first 20/30 secs but then stays on after that, it also won't take the full 4 sticks of ram will take up to 3 but when the fourth goes in it restarts every 5 secs
 
Everything is plugged in as far as am aware, my 20+4 pin is in, my 8 pin and my pic-e is plugged into my card, am not not sure what else a can do, the comp is shutting down after 30 seconds and then rebooting, but nothing is coming on screen
 
Should my comp work if I plugged my vga straight into my mb and removed everything else or do I need the Gpu for the monitor?
 
If you have integrated graphics on your cpu/motherboard then yes, if you don't then no. It looks like you do so give it a shot.
 
Do you have both power connections for the Corsair H55 correct?

In looking at the instructions for the Corsair H55 something was not clear. It said to connect the pump to a 3 or 4 pin motherboard fan header. That sound right. However it does not say where to connect the rear fan. A review of the Corsair H55 says that the rear fan is connected to the CPU fan header.

The Corsair H60 I have has the same setup. The pump is connected to a motherboard fan header and the rear fan is connected to the CPU fan header.

You want the pump to maintain a constant speed. The fan speed must be variable. The hotter the CPU the faster the fan must spin to cool the water in the radiator.
 
Ok so, so far I have completely rebuilt the comp, including removing water cooler, I have also tried to power it up just using the inboard graphics and one stick of ram, removed graphics card, hard drives, wireless card and DVD burner, I still get no post and a black screen.
 
No bent pins, socket seems fine. Should I just try RMA the motherboard and CPU? The whole rig is only a month old.
