After I built my PC, I turned it on and it seemed to power up just fine but nothing loaded on the monitor screen. I made sure that everything was connected properly several times but still no change. I tried leaving the PC running in case the BIOS was just taking its time to load (20+ mins) but still no change. I also tried a different monitor, both work on other systems, but still no change. I tried using only the hard drive in the build and then only the SSD but no change in either attempts. I tried clearing CMOS but still the BIOS does not appear. I'm not sure if my CPU is dead because I do not know how to test that and I do not know any one with a compatible motherboard for my CPU. Can anyone please help me fix this?

My PC build:

i7 4770k CPU
2 x 4gb Crucial Ballistix Tactical Memory RAM
Asus Z87-Pro Motherboard
MSI gtx 770 4gb Gaming Edition Graphics Card
Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 CPU Cooler
2TB Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive
128gb Corsair Force Series SSD
Corsair HX850 PSU
Silver Stone RV04 Case

Just got it back and I've noticed there were actually 2 pins that were bent in the CPU socket. Luckily i'm getting a replacement free of charge so just hoping the new one is fine.
