... don't work!

So over the course of 3 days, I put together a PC so I could join the PC gaming master race. After much heartache, I managed to get it to light up. The fans are spinning, the CPU cooler's fans are spinning, my GPU's fans are spinning, and my DVD drive lights up and works but whatever I plug into the I/O ports, doesn't work. I've plugged in a USB keyboard, and it doesn't light up, I plug my HDMI in both my GPU and my Motherboard and still my monitor says "NO SIGNAL". I've also tried another monitor with a VGA cable and still it doesn't work. These monitors are perfectly fine, as I have used them on other electronics and they look fine.

I'm at my wits end. I've tried reassembling my PC Disconnecting Ram Sticks, Loading in Disk, Recconecting Wires. As of yet, the only thing I haven't tried is disconnecting the CPU and plugging it back in.

Can anyone help me?

The inevitable question here is going to be wbat are the brand/model of all your parts?

That being said, are you positive your motherboard is POSTing? Theres a self test it performs when starting up. Depending on your motherboard, there should be a read out, LEDs, or a beep pattern that indicates pass/fail.
