CPU- AMD FX8320 Vishera 8core 3.5GHz AM3+ 125W
Motherboard- MSI 970A-G43 AM3+ AMD970+ SB950 6X6Gbs
Memory- CORSAIR Vegeance Pro 16 Gb (2x8) 240 pin DDR3 SDRAM SSR3 1600
HDD- Seagate Barracuda 1TB 72000 RPM 64 MB cache 6.0 Gb/s
Video Card- ZOTAC ZT-90301-10m GTX 960 2GB 128 BIT DDR5
PSU- Rosewell ARC-750 750W +12V rail intel

I think I've hooked everything up correctly. I'm not 100% sure because its my first time. I have run into a few problems though. When I start up the computer my monitor doesn't turn on. The monitor itself is turned on and plugged in, but doesn't display anything. I have my monitor hooked up to my GPU because there isn't a port for me to put it where the USB things usually are on the back. (Which is going to be a problem because I have two monitors.... I don't know what to do about that also.)
When I turn on the computer it doesn't beep. All the fans run. The LEDs are on. The temperature thing that displays on the front of the case works.
When I went to install the CPU I bent a few pins but I managed to straighten them out enough for them to correctly fit into the port. I don't know if that would have anything to do with my current problem. I really hope not though, because I'm not made of money- I just spent $1100 on this build.
If I could get help on this I would greatly appreciate it. I really was excited to use this new computer.

If you're not getting any beeps at all then you're in deep trouble. That tends to mean a problem with the motherboard. Since you bent a few pins, that's most likely the main culprit. Try reseating the CPU, making sure that every pin as as straight as it can possible be. If you're missing a pin you have a 1/6 chance of it being an earth pin (the CPU should start if it's missing an earth pin) but any others and then you're really done for.

The lack of BEEP from the mobo could be down to something as simple as the speaker not being correct connected to the mobo - easily done as most motherboard vendors have the header set up differently.

No video output from the GPU - have you connected the power cables to the back of the card ? the other concern I wold have is the brand of PSU you have, Rosewill are not the best or most reliable ones out there

I reseated my cpu and everything works fine there it seems. I took my gpu out and my ram and turned the computer on and I still haven't got any beeps. I'm clueless as to what to do. Have I broken my motherboard even though the fans connected to it still work?
