issuse with grapics card

[Mrkite]

Hey guys hopefully someone here can help me out, I just built my first PC last night booted it up and everything went well the only issue I'm having is with my graphics card, I installed it to the motherboard properly, everything is lit up and plugged into the correct spot. The issue
I'm having is I can only get an image to display from the VGA or HDMI of the motherboard, I get nothing when I'm plugged into the graphics card. After the initial boot I put the driver disk in and installed the software and still I get nothing. The graphics card is a MSI Twin Frozr GTX 970, the motherboard is a Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5 G1 gaming motherboard. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me with, like I said this is my first build so I'm hoping it's a beginners mistake.

Congratulation on ur 1st hand build PC, ur the mother of your PC what will you name it? Every PC i made i named it. Take everypic and make a memory like how I did for my AMD build: http://higgsprime.tumblr.com/post/115756506528/second-pc-construction-fx8320-8gb-1600mhz-asus

Now all you have to do is update ALL the drivers, simply go to here (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4959#dl), vote me for the best solution, download steam and origin and ur ready PC is ready. I am Higgs Prime on Origin, Steam and Skype.

Gonna have to think of a name for my PC now. I accidentally selected someone else on here earlier thinking I was hitting reply, is there a way to undo that and select you?
