Hi, I just finished (well somewhat finished assembling) everything on my new computer, I'm very new to this whole thing but I followed the guide and all the instructions parts.

My specs are:

CPU: AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 6-Core Processor Black Edition
Motherboard: ASUS Micro ATX DDR3 2000 AMD AM3+ Motherboard M5A78L-M/USB3
Graphics Card: PowerColor AMD Radeon R9 280X OC 3GB GDDR5 DVI/HDMI/2Mini DisplayPort PCI-Express Graphics Card AXR9 280X 3GBD5-T2DHE/OC
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 (PC3-12800) 240-Pin UDIMM Memory
HDD: WD Blue 1TB Desktop 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm Internal Hard Drive
PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS (CX600)
Optical Drive: Samsung SATA 1.5 Gb-s Optical Drive, Black SH-224DB/BEBE
Case: Thermaltake Versa H21

I have 3 cords that I have no clue where to plug in
Ones my USB 3.0 for the front ports on the case it's self:

The second is a cord coming off the PSU and is labled CPU however I cannot find a spot to plug it in at on the motherboard:

and the Third are a string of 4 plugs (each with what looks like 4 round holes) that go down to a small 4 prong connector:

I don't have a case speaker. When I turn the computer on with it plugged into a monitor nothing happens. All the fans start running like normal, the CD-Rom drive opens up properly, but the display doesn't work. I'm sure it's due to the 3 random wires I don't have plugged in but I have no clue where to plug them in at..

So yea.. I hope someone can help me any advice is welcome I hope I didn't butcher this.. But like I said, it powers on, all the fans work, the CD-Rom drive opens.. just no display..


 
Okay, thank you so much that worked. However, now I'm thinking I bought the wrong operating system. I've got the OS installed and everything and I'm on the desktop and I put the ASUS motherboard CD in the CD-Rom drive and it says "ASUS Support CD does not support this operating system (WMNT_6.2H_64.)" ... Did I buy the wrong operating system..?
 


I bought windows 8.1 System Builder, also it read the GPU disk, and I installed it does that mean I fucked it up?
 
You bought the correct OS 64-bit.

No you didnt fucked up, but you probably dont have the latest drivers, just go on AMD website and install latets drivers for R9 280X with Windows 8.1 64-bit or download auto-detect and run it and will install latest drivers for you
