ok so there's been no progress made, but I've realized that the gpu fan doesn't spin up until the debug light for the CPU goes off.  Also, I've never managed to get the VGA, Boot, or GPU debug lights to light up.

Things tried today:
  • Both PCIe x16 slots
  • HDMI and DVI-D cables with 3 monitors
  • HDMI, DVI-D, and VGA plugged directly into the motherboard with 3 different monitors
  • Putting the RAM in various slots
  • Powering on with and without the hard drive connected

Did the Power Supply unit come included with the bundle, or did you source that yourself? What wattage did you choose?

It's a 750W power supply that I got seperately, ThermalTake TR2 RX 750W

Just ordered a POST Test Card, so hopefully it'll help me figure out whats wrong

Post test card reads NOTHING
I've tried both PCI slots for this and it doesn't display any message at all.  It's reading that there's voltage, but its not saying ANYTHING else.

I'm very mad right now

Tried booting without the graphics card in? I can't imagine 750W not being enough to power it, and I also can't imagine it not having a power supply more than just the PCI-e socket.

yeah its probably the motherboard, I'm probably just gonna send it back and get a replacement, but man this has been a real shitshow.  I'll just buy a premade pc next time.
