The fans on the case, graphics card and processor all work. There is no input on the monitor. I was slightly flummoxed by the PSU connections and the sata installation and I have no idea how to make sure the set up is correct. The keyboard blinks when the I/0 switch at the back is turns on. I also have a split psu cable with two heads, one labelled cpu1 and the other cpu2. There is only one slot that fits either head.

Ok, I figured out that the cpu1 head needs to be plugged in.

There's still no display. There is a green LED on on the motherboard. I can't figure out whether the gfx card is the problem as my current pc is too old for it. Same with the ram.

This is my first build and I'm terrified that I've bricked it somehow.
