Never built a PC before so be nice

Recieved all parts today, got all components in place and wired up without too much fuss...

I went to switch the power on, for the first time, and I get nothing on the screen Here's what I get...

- All 4 fans (CPU, GPU, PSU, Case) are spinning fine

- Power is getting to the monitor as the light to signal it's on, is on

- Some kind of signal is getting to the monitor, because when I pull the monitor cable out from the back, it says Check Signal on the monitor

- LEDs on graphics card and motherboard light up, so power is getting to them (I did plug the PCI power 2x6pin from the PSU to the graphics card)

...but nothing on the screen...

what to do?? feel a bit lost

What kind of video card are you running? It looks like you do have a power connector running to it.

Oh can ya give us some system specs too...the pics are nice but it hard to tell what you are really running.

Hehe, yeah I remember when they first introduced those plugs. Had me stumped for a while on my first build after that.
